Training Methodology vs Training Method?

Hi, when describing how a training course is being administered, i.e. how the material is being taught to the students, do we speak of the training methodology or of the training method?


Could it be that one training method is part of the overall training methodology? E.g. I'm doing sales training I would write:

Out training methodology consists of varied and highly interactive training methods. We use both auditory, visual and tactile methods to optimally prepare you to make the sale.


What's correct or how do they differ if both are correct?

Thanks!

I would get other opinions if I were you, except for my comment on "both." That is definitely correct.
