Morphology
The phrase denotes training aimed at developing the quality named by the first noun: 'assertiveness' (confidently expressing desires) + 'training' (organized instruction). This direct, compositional noun+noun pattern is common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Assertiveness training comes from groups and therapy where people practice speaking up. The word assertiveness means 'standing up for yourself' and training means 'practice sessions', so the phrase shows the course is about learning to say what you feel and need clearly.
