Education: Learning fundamental principles (such as the reasons why a language is what it is) which typically takes a long time (from years for a degree to several months for a course)
  • typically offered by non-profit organizations such as schools and universities
Training: Learning technical skills such as a computer language in a time which is usually measured in days or weeks
  • you can train HPF but educate in data-parallel languages
  • often offered by commercial companies
  • often associated with retraining workers (continuing "education")
However education and training have similar technology support issues
