Training isn't required at all...but is HIGHLY suggested your first time into the game.
The amount of xp you get through training is probably equivalent to 3-4 good fights. So if you want to have fun attacking bases instead of doing training, then go for it...but that's kind of a veteran option.
If you're a newb to the game (and you ALL are), then I highly suggest the off-line training (yup...we're working on it after all) and/or the on-line VR Shooting and Driving ranges for practice.
It'll also teach you a LOT about capping bases, using inventory, the characteristics of the various weapons and vehicles, etc. and you'll be a much better player because of it.
But after the first time? Skip it unless you just want to blow through it for the easy xp.
