Hello everyone

I'd like to ask about the meaning of "traininh to" in the following context:

The types of activities and services provided by NGOs to the local population included free legal advice, monitoring and evaluation, awareness raising (civic education) and specialized training to international standards in the related fields.


Does "training to" mean that they trained people so they knew international standards in the related fields, or does it mean that the training was conducted according to international standards in the related fields?

It means "training up to international standards" in other words they will train people to do a certain type of work to a level which is accepted internationally to be a good level of proficiency in the given field.
