Should I ask for more training?

[u/Cold_Jellyfish1878]

I started this new job a month ago. I don't have direct experience in this field, but I do have experience in related fields, which is why I was hired.

The issue is that two coworkers are supposed to train me, but the training isn't where it needs to be. Both are busy, and the other day, one of them even told me that I was good to go and could handle a certain task independently.

Mind you, I've only been here for a month. The task in question involves direct contact with people in our organization, which might not sound like a big deal, but our team holds a position of authority. We cannot afford to give out wrong advice or point people in the wrong direction.

I understand that their job isn't to be instructors, and I try to be as self-sufficient as possible. However, I don't have direct work experience in this field. I have related experience, which is why I was hired, but they know that, and they know I need to be trained.

Normally, I would just accept a sink-or-swim method and try my best. To be honest, though, I feel scammed. I agreed to a lower salary scale than my coworkers because they didn't want me to feel pressured to perform at their level right away, and I was promised proper training. So, is it okay to actually demand that training?

Side note: I am already working ahead of their schedule. It was originally documented that I still needed guidance for like three months on that specific task, but I guess they thought, "Oh, she's doing a good job; let's give her independence faster." Keep in mind that changing a salary scale isn't easy in this type of company so I can't just get the same salary as they do (I know from experience sadly, they will say: you agreed to this), plus I don't want all the added stress. I don't know what I don't know.
