Not in any official or professional way, no. Mormons do not have a training program or school to attend in which they recieve training or authority to preach. Within Mormonism, it is expected that individuals will rely on the guidance of the Holy Ghost and revelation from God to guide them in their callings and responsibilties within the congregation. If they have questions about their responsiblities they may refer to manuals outlining policies for their specific position or may ask someone in a superior leadership position.
When a man is called as a Bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) he is given a reference manual which describes all the church policies that he needs to understand in order to perform his responsibilities. He generally receives a brief report from the previous Bishop and can also ask questions of those who have previously been bishops, currently serving bishops in his stake, and also his stake presidency.
All Mormon leadership (including Bishops, counselors, auxillary presidencies, and teachers) usually participate in some sort of yearly or quarterly 'training' meeting. Generally these training meetings simply review one or two pertinent topics or skills and last one or two hours, it is not a detailed training but rather a support class to help them improve their skills and review any policy changes.
Sermon in the movie The Bishop's Wife?
The Bishop's Wife, produced in 1947, is the story of a suave angel who comes to earth to save a woman and her Episcopal priest husband from spiritual doubt, and a lack of love for life itself.
But this movie is more than that, and features a sermon at the end, that would preach well anywhere today, in a world so in need of the simple, non-commercial message of Christmas. And here, for the first time on the Internet (as I could not find the script in the public domain), is the closing sermon of The Bishops Wife:
Tonight I want to tell you the story of an empty stocking.
Once upon a midnight clear, there was a child's cry, a blazing star hung over a stable, and wise men came with birthday gifts. We haven't forgotten that night down the centuries.We celebrate it with stars on Christmas trees, with the sound of bells, and with gifts.
But especially with gifts. You give me a book, I give you a tie. Aunt Martha has always wanted an orange squeezer and Uncle Henry can do with a new pipe. For we forget nobody, adult or child. All the stockings are filled, all that is, except one. And we have even forgotten to hang it up. The stocking for the child born in a manger. Its his birthday we're celebrating. Don't let us ever forget that.
Let us ask ourselves what He would wish for most. And then, let each put in his share, loving kindness, warm hearts, and a stretched out hand of tolerance. All the shinning gifts that make peace on earth.

What is the difference between a bishop and an archbishop?
A "jurisdictional" Bishop is the head of a diocese that governs a number of churches, and -- usually -- their pastors. A "Suffragan" Bishop i a Bishop who has been appointed to the office, but is not (yet) assigned to his/her own diocese. Bishops are seen in Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran, and some Pentecostal and "non-denominational" churches.
Although a few Pentecostal bodies have Archbishops (Greek: "arche" chief; "episkopos" bishop) they are mainly seen in the Roman, Orthodox, and Anglican churches.
They might be called "supervisors." The Archbishop is the head of a diocese who also "oversees" several other bishops -- usually Suffragan Bishops. Often they are the head of the diocese in the biggest city in the area, whereas the Bishops are over dioceses in smaller cities.
In the Orthodox Church the Archbishop is sometimes called a "Metropolitan"
From the New Catholic Dictionary: http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/ncd00726.htm
an archbishop has jurisdiction over an archdiocese such as the archdiocese of Newark. The Catholic church does not normally use the term Bishopric- but uses diocese for the smaller and archdiocese for the larger Bishop"s territorial domains. In popular use, an Archbishop is of episcopal rank and can ordain clergy and administer the sacrament of Confirmation which requires a minimum clerical rank of-Bishop. a metropolitan is a Russian Orthodox churchman with broad municipal powers- over say Moscow or St. Petersberg. No, Stasia, he does not wear a subway conductor"s ( flattop ) hat! that is an old joke, he wears the episcopal Mitre. In the Russian Orthodox church there are also Archpriests who rank between Priest and Bishop akin perhaps to the Western Monsignor. There you have it, under the (clerical) hat.

What was the purpose of the Second Vatican Council?
The Second Vatican Council (otherwise known as Vatican II) was a pastoral council, convened in order to update and review the disciplines, policies and attitude of the Catholic Church vis-a-via the modern world. Many documents were drafted and voted on in this Council that had a very progressive flavor that ultimately caused a rift among the Council fathers as Conservatives fought to organize and resist the changes. What came out of this was a series of vague documents that both sides could effectively interpret. After Vatican II, the liberal forces having triumphed, the progressive view was adopted which led to the liturgical reforms that brought forth the modern Novus Ordo Missa or New Mass as well as the attitudes towards liturgy in general in its conduct, literature, prayers, architecture and ecumenism. The Council made no dogmatic definitions nor did it declare itself a full ecumenical council versus just a pastoral one. Traditionalists that continue to resist the effects of Vatican II point to this as their justification for rejecting outright or resisting the modern changes. An excellent and remarkably objective book on the Council is "The Rhine Flows into the Tiber" by Ralph M. Wiltgen, who was a journalist covering it at the time.
