Experiential training focuses on learning through doing. If the task or skill to be learned is a manual or technical one, then the leaner will learn to do it, by watching, trying, experimenting, and then finally achieving the end result in the learner's way.
If it is a conceptual skill, such as understanding, or comprehending, then the learner will learn the skill by actually experiencing the achievement through simulations, structured experiences, and so on.
