Hi,
I differentiate between training and education but don't
subdifferentiate training which leads to certification and training
which doesn't (I guess in my experience - the prescence or abscence of a
certificate is not a useful metric to the quality of the training ...
but I may just be a little cynical about the entire notion of
certification which isn't going to be helpful to this discussion :)
I think education typically tends to be relatively broad and long-term -
say a degree spanning 4 years in the area of IT or Computer Science
while a training course tends to be very focused and intended to equip
someone with specific skills than expand their knowledge (I'm using
those terms loosely here and fear I may offend someones exact
definitions but I'm hoping you get my general idea) - say a Linux System
Administration course.
I can see how others view them all as "that which involves the
acquisition of knowledge" but thats not a useful perspective to me when
reviewing peoples CVs (or indeed preparing my own).
You may be right about different cultural perceptions of training and
education.

Do you differentiate between "training which leads to certification"
and just plain training, or do you just differentiate between
education and training? I think probably just education and training
is enough, but there may be some ambiguity in what people consider to
be education rather than training. I'm not sure whether there may be
cultural differences here - are people in the UK (or Eire/Europe?)
more likely to consider school and university education as distinct
from training leading to qualifications than in other parts of the
world?
