Training is a keyword ability introduced in Innistrad: Crimson Vow for Humans of Innistrad. It can only be found on creatures.
Description
When a creature with Training attacks alongside a creature of greater power, you may place a +1/+1 counter on it.[1] It is reminiscent of Mentor, but with the recipient and condition swapped and with no target clause. The lack of targeting has various rules implications.
The powers of the attacking creatures are checked only at the moment they attack. Once the training ability triggers, it doesn't matter what happens to the other creature, nor does it matter what happens to the power of either creature. As long as the creature with training is still on the battlefield as the training ability resolves, it will get the +1/+1 counter, even if its power is now equal to or greater than the other creature, it's no longer attacking, or even if the other creature is no longer on the battlefield.
Having more trainers doesn't cause training to trigger additional times.
