Guide on hiring your first London training room

When hiring a venue, it’s important to think about what you expect from the experience. Training rooms can be vastly different depending on the preferred use case of the venue, so it’s nice to know what makes them different from each other. In order to help you find the best training room for your specific activity, we made a list of points you should consider when planning to hire a London training room:

• Your budget (and what the hire fee includes) as well as how the venue prices its space (by the hour, day, session etc.).
• The location - which part of London would be the most convenient for you and the participants (as well as accessibility features such as parking, elevators and mobility ramps).
• The type of training room that would best suit the event you’re planning. Are you organising a corporate executive training course, a fitness session or IT training in a computer room?.
• The facilities you require (do you need to book a training room in London with computers, internet access, webcams, conferencing gear, mics, projectors, flipcharts, outdoor space, kitchen facilities or fitness equipment?).
• The seating layout that will best suit your event (U-shape, classroom, auditorium). We even made a blog post about event seating arrangements if you want to learn more.
• The time of your event - is it going to be a recurring training session, and on what time frame do you want it to happen.
• The number of attendees - choosing a venue that will just accommodate the number of people you anticipate will help give your training session a buzzed atmosphere.
• The amount of time you can hire the training room for. You should also check how long should the training session take.
  
• Your catering needs and whether the venue is able to cater to special dietary requirements.

Although this seems like a long list of things to bear in mind, it’s going to be super easy to find a venue you’ll be satisfied with if you consider every point. The more answers you can get from the venue manager, the better prepared you’ll be for your training session. And remember, your energy, confidence and thorough knowledge of the topic will carry your audience through the day, so taking the time to prepare well will help ensure your presentation is successful. After all, if you cover all your bases and make sure both you and your audience are comfortable, everything else should fall into place.

How to plan a training session that actually works

If you haven’t been teaching or training other people much in your life, planning a training session for your colleagues may seem like a daunting task. But with our help you’re going to plan and execute a great training course, no matter if you’re helping to train a team for your job, or making a public course. This is a list of tips and tricks on how to prepare a successful training for your students or coworkers:

• Have a few of your colleagues take a look at your plan so you can get some useful feedback ahead of your presentation
• Be well prepared – ensure that you’re completely comfortable with all of your material and arrive early so you have plenty of time to set up
• At the beginning of your presentation, give attendees some background information about yourself, the topic and what will be covered during the session (allow time to answer any questions and to do a quick icebreaker)
• Bring your material to life by working in personal anecdotes or good case studies (fun, real-life examples work best)
• Keep attendees alert by incorporating a range of elements into your presentation (music, video clips, PowerPoint slides)
• Encourage interaction and active learning by integrating participant activities into your session (role play, trivia, case studies)
• If the group seems disengaged or participants are getting a bit too heated about what’s being discussed, schedule a short break or move on to another activity
• Leave plenty of time at the end for questions. You can also try to prepare for the most likely questions if you have some ideas
  
• Make sure to put your website or social media page for them to be able to connect back to you
• Ensure trainees have a way to give you feedback, whether it’s with a web-based tool, like SurveyMonkey, a follow-up email or an old-school feedback form.
