Does anyone have a definition of each which highlights the difference?

In reply to Removed User:

Doesn't everyone use the words in slightly different ways anyway?

What are you trying to find out for? You can look up definitions in dictionary.com

Yes, I realise that I can look up the definitions but I want to get a feel for the general perception of the difference.

I am in discussion with a goverment department who fund some work. They fund Consulting work at 50% of the cost with a cap of $5,000 and training work at 75% of the cost with a cap of $10,000.

I deliver a training course which they are attempting to call consulting but I think they are actually applying teaching criteria in order to make their point.

Just my ideas on it:

Training- providing the information and skills required to fulfil a set task.

Teaching- providing information that may not relate to a specific task but can provide a base from which a person can build their own ideas and opinions.

Coaching- providing training *and feedback* to assist in the improvement of a person's ability to do something.
