Yes. At least 2 W-SS training and replacement battalions were stationed there. There were troop training grounds in Lublin, Krakow, L'viv and Warsaw1) Was Warsaw a training Center for SS Battalions ? (Such as Dachau had a SS Training Depot)

They were training and replacement battalions for the 3rd SS Panzer and 8th SS Cavalry Divisions.
Arnhem was the location of an SS NCO school. During operation MARKET-GARDEN, "Kampfgruppe Kraft" formed around SS AuE (Training & Replacement) Battalion 16, which would have been for the 16th SS Panzergrenadier Division

Re: SS Training Units in the Warsaw ghetto uprising?
Report mentions:
SS-Pz.Gren.Ausb.u.Ers.Btl. 3 Warschau
SS-Kav.-Ausb.-u.Ers.-Abt. Warschau
1,2,3,4 and 5th - that would be companies of the first unit.
Rob - wssob2 already provided SS units for both.
