Training/Education or Experience??

I believe that it is more important for a manager to have the proper education and training in order to be the most successful. Although experience is crucial, it will not teach you how to master accounting skills or the necessary managing skills needed. Also, training is crucial because you don't want to be thrown into a situation not knowing what you are doing. The training will prepare you with the knowledge of how to handle certain obstacles or challenges. Now I'm not saying experience isn't a good tool for manager's. I believe that if you don't have experience you will be overwhelmed when you have to deal with the real life problems. But, I still think you would be more prepared with an educational understanding and an efficient training program. What types of training and education do you think a manager should be required to take?
