Muriel Ok, I do not care. All I wanted was to say you were very rude and you have just proved me right. Why are you so bitter?
Muriel Vasconcellos Jul 24, 2006:
The site does have rules. I have filtered you out.
Lilian Magalhães (asker) Jul 24, 2006:
training Muriel, thanks for your comment. However, I had no more time (to begin with). Second, I know how I am supposed to act. Please be nicer next time (your note was rude).
Muriel Vasconcellos Jul 21, 2006:
Your acceptance was very hasty. If you had left the question open for 24 hours, as your are supposed to, you would probably have seen a large number of "agrees" for "training," which is by far the most commont ranslation.

As Muriel pointed out, in English, "training" applies also to professional education. Soldiers, policemen and firefighters are trained, and so are doctors, lawyers, and economists. In your context, "training" would have worked just fine. Companies do not "educate" or "qualify" their work force, regardless of the type of work they are expected to perform. They just train them, or pay for their training.

Re: Training vs qualify.
For example, you can say "Joe is qualified to perform his job as a manager". That means that Joe has received the proper training, and/or has the necessary experience and skills. Joe might be qualified, but the company would not "qualify" him. See the difference?
Note from asker:
não tenho certeza se é o melhor termo, pois se refere a estudantes universitários de cursos da área de saúde..preciso de verbo...pode me ajudar?
Peer comment(s):
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : It's still "training" -- all professional education is considered "training."
