The phrase "benign training" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are referring to a type of training that is gentle, harmless, or not intended to cause any negative effects.

While the benign training was broadly effective, there was less clear evidence for a differential effect of spoken or written presentation of the materials.
The benign training employed in the current study was broadly effective in that children receiving the benign training made significantly fewer negative interpretations of ambiguous events, more benign interpretations, and showed a trend to rate negative events as having less emotional impact from pre- to posttraining.
However, for the benign training, there was less clear evidence for a differentiation of the effects between the two modes of presentation, although children in the spoken presentation group performed better in a stressful task and showed a trend to rate their mood as more positive after the task than children in the written presentation group.
In the benign training condition, participants first resolved homographs (single ambiguous words with both threatening and non-threatening meanings such as "growth"; cf. Grey & Mathews, 2000) as cues for solving word fragments corresponding to the homographs' benign meaning (e.g. growth – pl_nt).
Although the differential effects of spoken or written presentation of training scenarios were not pronounced for the benign training, as the spoken training took less time to administer and could be administered with minimal resources to several children simultaneously, regardless of their reading ability, it may have practical advantages as a low-intensity clinical intervention.

Further, selected socially anxious children showed a reduction in trait social anxiety after three sessions of benign interpretation training (Vassilopoulos et al., 2009), and children appear to be particularly vulnerable to acquiring interpretation biases about stimuli that are congruent with their normative fears for their age group (Lester et al., 2011a).
