We have the following heading on our website: Available Trainings
A collegue says that "trainings" should be singular. Is this true?

Available training would be inclusive of all the training you have to offer; therefore omit the s--yet, you will have the various training available listed below.

In context the correct use would be training is available - a singular meaning. To be plural another word would have to be used. Can't be both.

Training is a collective noun. It is both plural and singular. Drop the S.

I would go with "available training" - singular. Trainings is not really a word. Or you could say "available training courses or classes"...?

Yes, it is true. The heading should read 'Available Training'.
