I assume dates in your sample are the dates when previous training was taken. In header column you mention within the text is that annual training or not. If not when we assume that's once per 3 years training.
Thus we try to find in header cells if that's annual training or not. If annual when formula
IF( ISNUMBER( SEARCH("annual", A$1) ), 12, 36 )
returns 12 (months), otherwise 36.
Finally
EDATE(A2, 12) or EDATE(A2, 36)
returns the date which is 12 or 36 months later than the date in A2. Other words Due Date.
