May it be an out-bound training or in-house… Venue is an important aspect of any Training Program. Its arrangements and facilities contribute largely in creating the overall training impact. How should the venue look like and what all amenities it should have depends on the Training Design. However, there are certain common factors which are required in any classroom training:
~ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ – Use of audio-visuals is a part of almost all the training programs. However, this is not the only method and the facilitator doesn’t use it throughout. So, the Training hall should have both the arrangements where natural light can enter as well as one can shift to room lighting as per need.
Some training halls are designed in such a manner where there is no natural light. In that case, one should ensure that the room is well-lit and has alternatives to reduce the lighting.
Also, the placing of white board & flip chart stand as well as soft board should be such that the area has enough lighting without any reflection.
~ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง – Natural air or air conditioner with appropriate temperature in the room is necessary. Later is preferred as it allows to close windows and filter the background noises. But its temperature must be adjusted well. I have seen training programs facing distractions simply because of this factor. To avoid the same, this can be discussed and set as a part of ground rules.
~ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ – Water bottles sufficient for the day as per number of participants, enough plug points at right locations, duster and white board markers placed near the board, screen adjusted to the eye-sight level of participants, while in the seating positions, flip chart stand, white board and screen all in the reach of the Facilitator so that the shift with different training aids can be made easily, soft board pins, a desk to keep all the training reference material and stationary – all of this is part of venue arrangement.
It is a responsibility of the Training Coordinator to ensure that all of this is arranged. Ideally, looking at the training design, the training venue should be visualized and arranged just the way the stage is arranged for any theater play or drama.
This not only saves time during the training program but also gives an assurance to participants that the place where they have come to learn has been treated and is looked at with sanctity. “No compromises & No adjustments’ approach of the Training team gives a clear message to trainees that the focus here is on learning and discipline is the first step there.
