Training


Explanation:
Stage normally referes to some kind of "hands-on" training rather than a manual. As you have almost no context here, I would stick with the rather vague "training". It can always be changed later if/when more details are available.

internship or apprenticeship


Explanation:
"training" is usually "formation", but a stage is always very specific to what I understand.

Monica Lewinsky was always referred to in the French press as a "stagaire" (an intern)

Reading further the context of your post (I so wish Proz allowed you to save posts before you actually have to "publish" them) , there are anumber of possibilities here, including:

Maybe "stage" is the name of the program?

If you could provide more source text would be helpful tnx

To be more specific, you could call the booklet 'Documentation and End-User Training'.
