Importance of Training Venue and Sitting Arrangement

Organizers of the training course should visit the proposed venue before training takes place to assess if it is appropriate for this training. The trainer should identify potential sources of distraction in the room, both for himself or the trainees. One should never teach in front of a window, poster or other wall decoration, course participants attention will be diverted away from the trainer. Make sure that all participants will be able to see the blackboard, flip chart, or other instructional aids. Also check that all participants will be able to hear the trainer from the different angles of the room, especially those sitting at the back. In case you are going to use an overhead projector or slides check whether there is electricity. Besides these, check and confirm whether there may be other physical or lighting distractions within the vicinity of the room.
