I have never heard of User Acceptance Training. I have heard of User Acceptance Testing (UAT), which is about users testing the software, not training users on the software. The goal of UAT is to work with the user to verify that the software's functionality and usability are "acceptable". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_testing#User_accept...

It's always agrressive against the users. The users are the poor saps that have to accept whatever the devs have droped on them. The users have no say other than suggest it doesn't work, doesn't promote efficient workflows, whatever. It's then up to the devs to fix, but they feel like they've delivered according to specs so tough. The User will Accept Whatever from the all powerful dev team. How about User Acceptability Testing. At least it then makes it sound like the devs are going to give a damn about the users feedback.
