What is the difference between Practical training and Theoretical training?
A. Practical training is a hands-on experience of an activity. After practical training one acquires skills and experience. It is like learning to drive a car by sitting in the car and driving it with the guidance of a trainer. Theoretical training on the other hand is like sitting in the classroom to learn to drive a car. You will know the optimum speed at which to change gears or the situations that would arise for the brake to be applied, but you may not know how to drive. You may be awarded a qualification after theoretical training, however this does not guarantee you the skills needed to carry out your tasks in the working envionment.
