I agree completely about needing a descriptive term.  From the wikipedia
page mentioned earlier in the thread it's clear
that different countries have different names for it and none of those
names are self-explanatory.  Terms that are
self-explanatory mean that people using an editor can look through a list
of possible values and it's obvious which
one to use without having to resort to the OSM wiki.

I'd prefer something more structured than duck tagging a crowded amenity
tag, simply because we're likely to
encounter more types of training as time goes by.  amenity=training +
training=cycling works for me.  Well,
for something private like a room with expensive flight simulators used by
airlines then I'd say it's more of
a facility than an amenity (you can't just walk in, hand over some money
and have a play) but access=private
lets us use amenity anyway (even for NASA's astronaut training facilities).
