Starting from or starting

Our training will be starting from 20th March to 23rd March.

Is this sentence correct?

I have a hunch that "from" is reduntant.

Can you help me this?

Thanks,
Harry

If it has to be written in a small sentence, then would this be correct?

The way I understand this sentence, it's telling that the starting extends from March 20 to March 23. Is that what you want to say?

Our training starts March 20, and ends March 23.

Our training starting from 20th March to 23rd March.

Our training starts on a certain date. It cannot start on that date to another date. It has to end on a later date. Therefore your sentence doesn't work even if you use 'start' instead of 'starting'.
