The term '''training''' refers to the acquisition of [[knowledge]], [[skill]]s, and competencies as a result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful service functions. It forms the core of apprenticeships and provides the backbone of [[content]] at institutes of [[technology]] (also known as technical colleges or polytechnics). In addition to the basic training required for a trade, occupation or [[profession]], observers of the [[labor]]-market recognize today the need to continue training beyond initial qualifications: to maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout working life. People within many professions and occupations may refer to this sort of training as professional development.
Some commentators use a similar term for workplace learning to improve performance: training and development. One can generally categorize such training as on-the-job or off-the-job:
*On-the-job training takes place in a normal working situation, using the actual tools, equipment, documents or materials that trainees will use when fully trained. On-the-job training has a general reputation as most effective for vocational work.
*Off-the-job training takes place away from normal work situations — implying that the employee does not count as a directly productive worker while such training takes place. Off-the-job training has the advantage that it allows people to get away from work and concentrate more thoroughly on the training itself. This type of training has proven more effective[citation needed] in inculcating concepts and ideas.
Training differs from exercise in that people may dabble in exercise as an occasional activity for fun. Training has specific goals of improving one's capability, capacity, and performance.
==Types of training==
===Physical training===
Physical training concentrates on goals: training-programs in this area develop specific skills or muscles, often with a view to peaking at a particular time. Some [[physical]] training programs [[focus]] on raising overall physical fitness.
In military use, training means gaining the physical ability to perform and survive in [[war|combat]], and learning the many skills needed in a time of war. These include how to use a variety of weapons, outdoor survival skills, and how to survive capture by the enemy, among others.
For psychological or physiological reasons, people who believe it may be beneficial to them can choose to practice [[relaxation]] training, or autogenic training, in an attempt to increase their ability to relax or deal with [[stress]].[1] While some studies have indicated relaxation training is useful for some medical conditions, autogenic training has limited results or has been the result of few studies. one of the [[things]] you should know about training is it has different levels: First level is called Guiding. where you are going to create an environment, which is safe and [[secure]]. Second level is teaching where you you learn what to do. Third level is Coaching where you learn how to do things. Fourth level is Mentoring where you work on your [[beliefs]] and [[values]]. Fifth level is Sponsor who works on [[identity]] of the person mainly acknowledges and encourages.
===Religion and spirituality===
In [[religious]] and [[spiritual]] use, training may mean purifying [[mind]], [[heart]], [[understanding]] and [[action]]s to obtain a variety of spiritual goals such as [[intimacy|closeness]] to [[God]] or freedom from [[suffering]]. Note for example the institutionalized spiritual training of Buddhism, the Threefold Training, or discipleship in Christianity.
===Artificial-intelligence===
Researchers have developed training-methods for artificial-[[intelligence]] devices as well. [[Evolution]]ary [[algorithm]]s, including genetic programming and other methods of [[machine]] [[learning]], use a system of feedback based on "fitness functions" to allow computer programs to determine how well an entity performs a task. The [[method]]s construct a series of programs, known as a “population” of programs, and then automatically test them for "fitness", observing how well they perform the intended task. The [[system]] [[automatic]]ally generates new programs based on [[members]] of the [[population]] that perform the best. These new members replace programs that perform the worst. The procedure repeats until the achievement of optimum performance.[2] In [[robotics]], such a system can continue to run in [[real-time]] after initial training, allowing robots to adapt to new situations and to [[change]]s in themselves, for example, due to wear or damage. Researchers have also developed robots that can appear to mimic simple [[human]] behavior as a starting point for training.[3]
