Education (to educate) and training (to train) have become increasingly more indistinct from one another in a broad and widespread manner, whether in the regular school system or outside it, in the current Brazilian society. As a result, no differences remain between them and their distinguishing features have become blurred. We are concerned about making a distinction between education (to educate) and training (to train) from the standpoint of the "subject". Under this differentiation, language - the word- belongs to the domain of education, which, in turn, belongs to the domain of knowledge transmission, where a permanent tension exists between the dimensions of creating time (subjective) and those of the average rule when a person has access to knowledge, whereas the communication of knowledge belongs to the domain of training and the second dimension of the rule prevails in this process of having access to knowledge. In this case, language is reduced to becoming an instrument. In the light of this differentiation, the so-called "training courses", "skill-enhancing courses", "update courses and/or "refresher courses" and "distance learning courses/courses, which lack the physical presence of the teacher", are evaluated.
