Training is the structured approach to enhance someone’s knowledge which often involves the undertaking of specific taught courses (theoretical knowledge) or on the job training (skills) where a person is given the knowledge needed to apply theory into practice. Often it is the combination of both. The EGR training without a doubt should be composed of a combination of those elements. 

However, competency consists of a number of aspects, of which training is only one. Others include skills, knowledge, experience, appreciation, and understanding of the task at hand. It should be noted that training and/or qualifications alone will not necessarily mean that a person is competent.
