The bare minimum training is 0. The manual is decent once you learn
your way arround it and the forms are pretty self explanatory.
The question you have to ask yourself, however, is whether you are
willing to have people with the bare minimum of training making design
decisions about a system that you will probably have to live with for
several years, at least.
My own personal opinion is that if you want the bare minimum, send
your people to the high level CASE courses and let them pick up the
tool on their own. Setting up functions and entities and drawing ER
diagrams is something you can figure out how to do even without the
course. The tough part is figuring out which entities and functions
to create. That's what the high level courses teach.
