Hi There,
Here is the answer from my end.
Internal training - This happens when the, Trainers are on the company payrolls conduct the training programs for the employees as when as required. e.g induction programs conduted by HR & Training depts in most companies. Here trainers are the employees of the company.
External training - In this process, an external trainer from a training company or a freelance trainer is invited to conduct a 1or2 day workshop for the employees. this is external training.
Let me know if you require more info.

Internal Training,

Also called In House Training and they are all training performed in the organization which will include

• Inviting external vendors to run programs in the organization (when organization invites a vendor to run a program in the organization usually for groups from 5 to 50) this method helps cut costs

• On Job Training (when training is required within the same job when gaps are found)

• Job Rotation (when employee takes up a different role in the organization usually requires training to undertake the position

• Induction Programs (when the employees joins the organization)

• Company Health & Safety Programs (once you have set specific health & safety regulations the company needs to run periodical training programs to the staff on these rules)

• Fire Drills

External Training

All Trainings employees are nominated to attend outside the organization and they are segregated into 2 groups Local training & overseas training

Local Training: All trainings attended by employees outside the organization but in a local training provider i.e. in the employee’s country

Overseas Training: When the employees is sponsored to travel outside his country to attend a training program

Following the above answers i would like to know :
Internal training - This happens when the, Trainers are on the company payrolls conduct the training programs for the employees as when as required. e.g induction programs conduted by HR & Training depts in most companies. Here trainers are the employees of the company.
External training - In this process, an external trainer from a training company or a freelance trainer is invited to conduct a 1or2 day workshop for the employees. this is external training.
NOW : what if an external trainer (other than the one on the company's payroll) is invited to give training in the organization for some days!!! do we call it in house training (as happening in the organization) or external training (as provided by someone who is not on the organization payroll)... i am a bit confused here
