Training-Specific Setup
Trainer Readiness
What extras make a training room “ready to teach”?
Dual screens, flip charts, markers, clickers, reliable Wi-Fi. Power outlets per desk and materials resource table. Visible clock helps time management.
How do you run hands-on software training smoothly?
Share software install links one week early; provide test credentials. Use wired connections for instructor PCs. Record session and distribute resources post-class.
What setup helps blended (in-person + remote) workshops?
One screen for slides, one for remote participants, plus room mic array. Assign co-host to manage chat. Test breakouts and polls beforehand.
How do you manage laptop charging chaos?
Provide power strips under tables with taped cable runs. Remind learners to charge before arrival. Keep spare adapters for common laptop brands.
Participant Experience
How to keep energy high after lunch?
Switch to interactive activities and short sprints. Dim lights only for videos. Schedule quick stand-up exercise to reset focus.
What’s an ideal facilitator-to-participant ratio?
1:15 is comfortable; add co-facilitator beyond 20 learners. Assign roles: tech wrangler, timekeeper, Q&A coordinator. This keeps momentum steady.
How do you capture feedback effectively?
Use 1-minute mobile form rating AV, room comfort, learning outcomes. Close with: “What should we change?” Summarize within 24 hours.
How do you handle latecomers without disrupting flow?
Park near entrance with quick brief during natural pause. Keep updated agenda slide visible. Share missed resources by link.
