Troop Training
Is it possible, by either cheats or an exploit or any other way, to train my divisions to veteran or seasoned level of experience?
I know you can do it by going to war but I prefer to have a small but highly experienced army (Special forces at veteran experience)
If there is no other way besides making them fight, whats the most efficient / quickest way for them to 'level up'

You can get them to “regulars” by training. No further. However, there is a mod titled something like “veteran troop training” that will allow you to train them higher. Last I checked, though, it had a complication with army/air/navy experience points if you used a console command cheat to gain said experience. Works like a charm other than that though.

okay, ill check out the mod, thank you very much :)
Placing in active combat will train up divisions, and if they have marines, use them in the Pacific, as destroying a division seems to be a good amount of xp and one province islands are good for that.

Training raw recruits to L3 Regulars is a "lead time" process;
Recruit L0, to L2 Trained for INF is 120 days;
L2 > L3 by training is about 80-100 days ; so to get the "Fighting Sandcrabs" ready as L3's is close to 220 days ... or get into a fight as L2's, and HOPE they survive to L3's .

Send Volunteers is another way to level up your divisions without going to war.

You can go to the defines and change this:

TRAINING_MAX_LEVEL = 3,
DEPLOY_TRAINING_MAX_LEVEL = 3,

I have mine at 4 but you could go higher, but it can give you issues when earning experience.

Well here is everything as I have it set up:

UNIT_EXPERIENCE_PER_COMBAT_HOUR = 0.0002,
UNIT_EXPERIENCE_SCALE = 1.0,
UNIT_EXPERIENCE_PER_TRAINING_DAY = 0.0015,
FIELD_EXPERIENCE_MAX_PER_DAY = 100,
TRAINING_MAX_LEVEL = 4,
DEPLOY_TRAINING_MAX_LEVEL = 4,
TRAINING_EXPERIENCE_SCALE = 62.0,
TRAINING_ORG = 0.2,
ARMY_EXP_BASE_LEVEL = 1,
UNIT_EXP_LEVELS = { 0.1, 0.3, 0.75, 0.9 }, -- Experience needed to progress to the next level
FIELD_EXPERIENCE_SCALE = 0.003,
FIELD_EXPERIENCE_MAX_PER_DAY = 3, -- Most xp you can gain per day
EXPEDITIONARY_FIELD_EXPERIENCE_SCALE = 0.5, -- reduction factor in Xp from expeditionary forces
LEND_LEASE_FIELD_EXPERIENCE_SCALE = 0.005, -- Experience scale for lend leased equipment used in combat.
LEADER_EXPERIENCE_SCALE = 1.0,

Be sure that mods are not overwritting this.
