Understanding how training works is essential to get the most out of your Vault Dwellers and to reduce the time it takes to train them significantly. A Vault Dweller will have a specific Stat Skill pool based on its number (IE Endurance stat is 5). When you add them to a training room, they will add one point to the training pool every second. The game then modifies this point pool using the happiness bonus of your Vault, how many Vault Dwellers are in the training room, and the current level of the training room. You can then level up your people's stats after they fill the point pool.

Vault Dwellers will keep partial training progress if you need to remove them from a training room for any reason. Doing so is great if you must assign them to a production room, send them to a wasteland, or save power in your Vault. In addition, they will train for a short period of time after the game is closed.

The seven training rooms in Fallout Shelter are:

Armory: Perception
Athletics Room: Agility
Classroom: Intelligence
Fitness Room: Endurance
Game Room: Luck
Lounge: Charisma
Weight Room: Strength
