instruction / admission
Both words refer to information and instructions given before a task. An „Einweisung“ usually provides practical instruction in using a specific device, working at a particular workplace, or carrying out an activity, whereas a „Briefing“ mainly summarizes the assignment, goals, and important information. Use „Einweisung“ for practical know-how and „Briefing“ for an overview before an assignment.
