Salesian Training is the structured process of developing the specific knowledge, practical skills, professional competencies and leadership abilities required to carry out a particular Salesian responsibility or ministry. Training concentrates on what a person needs to know and be able to do to fulfil a task or role competently. It may include instruction, demonstration, supervised practice, mentoring, simulation and assessment. Training is not necessarily a separate stage that ends when a course finishes. It can be repeated, updated and integrated into lifelong formation and animation.

Its fundamental question is: What must I learn and practise to carry out this responsibility competently and responsibly
