You should know principles of their mechanisms. For example:

H⁺ + OH^- ---> H₂O

for acid-base titration reaction.

Google syllabus for any Analytical Chemistry 101 course, it should give you some ideas.

I don't know what industry you are in, but it can get a lot more intense.  Other instrumental courses might help, again, depending on what you will need.
