Training being a learning experience, I would think marking it up as education is appropriate.
But work is (or perhaps should be) a 'learning experience' too. It's not quite the same thing, but most application forms I've filled in have had separate sections for Education and Training. A quick google for some examples: 1 - http://www.chichester.gov.uk/your_council/council_jobs/copy_of_job_appln_form1.cfm (link to Word doc on page) - Has an 'EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS' section, separate boxes for schooling, professional qualifications and 'other relevant training' but all under the same heading. 2 - http://www.tendringdc.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/E8AE5F2D-4F09-46F7-8044-9A45A924CDCE/0/ApplicationForm130306.pdf - seperate sections for Education and Professional Qualifications 3 - http://www.unison.org.uk/acrobat/B1491.pdf - separate sections for Education and Training, though the distinction is that anything which leads to a qualification is Education, and everything else is Training. This is perhaps a more useful practical distinction than the slightly nebulous concepts I had in mind. 4 - http://www.scope.org.uk/downloads/jobs/jobapp_may05.doc - similar to 3, things with an exam are Education, other things are Training. 5 - http://www.rhul.ac.uk/personnel/application.pdf - similar to 1, all in one section but sperate boxes for School, Further/Higher Education, Formal Qualifications and Other Training 6 - http://www.broxtowe.gov.uk/application_form_april_2006.pdf - Education and Training all in the same box/section. On the basis of the above examples, I would suggest that a distinction between education and training could be useful as clearly employers sometimes see them as distinct concepts.
