Gun owners often use these two words interchangeably. While they deal with similar subjects, they are not at all the same.
These are the simple definitions I use:
Practice is when you work on what you already know.
Training is when you learn something new.
Training can never take place inside your comfort zone. It would be impossible to learn something new that you already know (unless you have forgotten or had a brain injury). You learn and then you practice. Taking a class helps you learn new and better ways to run your gun to defend yourself but then it's up to you to go home and practice what you learned.
The value of training is severely reduced without practice to reinforce the lessons. Practice without proper training is usually wasting ammo.
