Spaced training: what it is and what it means

Spaced training is a way of organizing the training calendar that spreads short, frequent sessions — 2-3 hours, once every 2-4 weeks — integrated into daily operations instead of concentrated in long events. Spaced training causes less interference with production and makes it possible to practice between one session and the next, consolidating learning. It is the opposite of concentrated training, which groups interventions into dense blocks over a small number of days.
