What to Look For in a Classroom Rental5277338
Whilst cost may be the number one consideration, there are a lot of other elements you should investigate when choosing to rent a training facility.
First there is the apparent query: do the specs of the computer systems meet the technical requirements of the training? You will want to verify that the CPU speed, the memory, and the size of the hard drives. You will also want to make sure that the type and size of the monitors meet your needs.
Subsequent you need to ask about technical assistance. Is there a dedicated technical professional support person onsite who has the experience to install and support the software you will be using? Be sure that the technician will be on site the whole time that the classroom is becoming utilized to handle any problems that may pop up.
You also need to check the physical characteristics of the classroom. Make certain it is big enough so that every student has adequate space for monitors, manuals and room to take notes. Make sure the projector is high quality and that there are whiteboards, flipcharts or other media for the instructor to use.
An often overlooked aspect is HVAC. You do not want your classroom to be freezing or overheated. The perfect configuration is for the classroom to have its personal controls so that heat and air conditioning can be adjusted according to the number of students present.
Be sure to check on other amenities that you want for your students. Are beverage and snacks integrated? If not, is there a per person charge for catering? Is there a break room accessible to the students? Can lunch be brought in? If people are traveling, how close is the nearest hotel? Is the hotel walking distance or is other transportation needed? Is there a negotiated rate with the hotel for your students?
A final consideration is the building itself. Is it modern and appealing? Is the place centrally located and simple to find? What about parking? You will want to find out if free parking is accessible at the venue for students, and if not - find out exactly where parking can be found and what fee the student can anticipate to spend. If there is a charge for parking you may want to make arrangements to cover the price for the students.
