Characters can opt to spend part of a night on training (roughly a third of the available time). Training time need not be consecutive, but only a single trait can be trained for at a time.
The smallest unit of measurement for training times is 'day', and training times are always rounded down to the nearest day (with a minimum of 1 day).
Note that a trainer is usually a person, but that is not necessarily the case. Sometimes a trainer can be replaced by another source of insights, a scroll of ancient knowledge written by a vampire eons ago, or even mystical insights achieved during lengthy months of meditation. Substituting some other source of insights for an actual trainer works for most traits except Attributes and Abilities. Player characters can be trainers, provided that they qualify for the trainer requirements.
In the following rules, NR stands for 'new rating' and CR stands for 'current rating'.

These special case rules describe optional methods of bootstrapping into knowledge without a qualifying trainer.
