受训 (shòu xùn) is a verb meaning 'to undergo training' or 'to receive instruction', typically in a formal, structured, or institutional setting. The character 受 (shòu) means 'to receive' or 'to undergo', while 训 (xùn) means 'instruction', 'training', or 'discipline'. Together, they convey the idea of actively receiving and engaging with guided learning—often implying effort, supervision, and a clear curriculum. It’s commonly used for professional, military, medical, or technical training where certification or qualification is expected.

This term carries a neutral-to-formal register and is rarely used for casual learning (e.g., self-study or hobby classes). It frequently appears in official documents, job descriptions, news reports about emergency responders or healthcare workers, and educational contexts emphasizing rigorous preparation. Unlike more general terms like 学习 (xuéxí, 'to study'), 受训 highlights the structured, often externally administered nature of the training process.
