SELECTING AND
PREPARING THE
TRAINING SITE
Recognizing the trainee, learning can be facilitated
through both mental and physical involvement, it is
important to consider this when choosing,
designing or deciding a training space.
Because training classes nowadays involve online
learning, teamwork, physical movement and quite
contemplation, spaces need flexible furniture and
equipment that can be moved within the class. The
key is to have a classroom that is able to
accommodate a wide variety of activities and
instructor-learner,learner-learner and learner
content interaction.
TRAINING SITE
-refers to the room where training will be conducted.
Features of a good training site
1.It is comfortable and accessible.
2.It is quite private, and free from interruptions.
3.It has sufficient space for trainees to move
around easily.
DETAILS TO BE CONSIDERED IN
THE TRAINING ROOM
1.NOISE
Check for noise from
heating and air conditioning
systems, adjacent rooms and
corridors and outside the
building.
2. COLORS
Pastel hues such as oranges,
greens, blues, and yellows are
warm colors variation of white
are cold and sterile. Blacks and
brown shades will close the room
psychologically and become
fatiguing.
3. ROOM STRUCTURE
Use rooms that
are somewhat square
in shape.
4. LIGHTING
The main source of light
should be fluorescent lights.
Incandescent lighting should
be spread throughout the room
and used with dimmers.
5. WALL and FLOOR COVERING
Only meeting related
materials should be
on the wall.
6.MEETING ROOM CHAIRS
Chairs should have
wheels and swivels, and
backs that provide
support for the lower
lumbar region.
7. GLARE
Check and eliminates
glare from metal surfaces,
TV monitors,and mirrors.
8. CEILING
Ten-foot-high ceiling
are preferable.
9.ELECTRICAL OUTLET
Outlets should be available
every six feet around the room.
Make sure that outlets are
available for trainees to plug in
their laptops, if necessary.
10. ACOUSTICS
Check the bounce or
absorption of sound
from the walls, ceiling,
floor, and furniture.
11. TECHNOLOGY
Check that the room has
permanent screens and a
computer with internet access
for the trainer (if necessary).
SEATING ARRANGEMENT
Seating arrangement at the training
site should be based on understanding of
the desired type of trainee interaction and
trainee- trainer interaction.
Types of Seating Arrangement
1.Fan-type seating
Conducive in allowing trainees to see
from any point in the room. Trainees can
easily switch from listening to a
presentation to practicing in groups. And
trainees can communicate easily with
everyone in the room.
2.Classroom-type seating
Used if the training involves knowledge
acquisition, with lecture and audiovisual
presentation being the primary training method.
3. Conference type seating
Used if the training emphasizes total-group
discussion with limited presentation and no small-group
interaction.
4.Horseshoe arrangement
Used if the training requires both presentation and
total group instruction.
Why we need to
choose and prepare
the training site for
our trainees?
