Morphology
The meaning 'a school that provides practical education and instruction in vocational or technical skills' is directly compositional from 'training' (organized learning) + 'school' (educational institution), following a regular noun-noun compound pattern in English. Although 'school' is listed with a verb definition in the input, the institutional noun sense is the one used here and is familiar to learners. This straightforward, cross-linguistically common construction makes the MWE immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The noun training school comes from old workshops where a skilled worker taught learners on the job, so people were literally being trained in a school of work. That's why today it often means 'a school that teaches practical or technical skills'.
