CobiT definition:
Effective education of all users of IT systems, including those within IT, requires identifying the training needs of each user group. In addition to identifying needs, this process includes defining and executing a strategy for effective training and measuring the results. An effective training programme increases effective use of technology by reducing user errors, increasing productivity and increasing compliance with key controls, such as user security measures.
