The answer of course is .... "it depends"

If it is technical basis training - that is a different answer versus 
end user application training.

In a typical company - you have a dev, qas and prod environment. 
Additionally there may be a sandbox and a training environment.

Each of those environments will be made of an application "server" and a 
database "server".  These are software layers that may all live on one 
physical server, or may have more than one application server.

In your case - at a minimum - you would have one physical server that is 
running an application and database "servers" on the same box for ERP, 
and the same for BI.

Memory, CPU and disk sizing will again depend.  Remember that training 
environments are the worst.  You will have 50 people hitting enter at 
the same time, doing the exact same thing / same config / same 
exercises, etc. ... lots of disk, network, cpu contention for the same 
resources / programs / data. That is not a real work scenario.

You have some homework ahead of you ...
