The organization of a classroom, as well as the tools available for learning, all play a role in the effectiveness of training.Tha layout of a training lab should allow the trainer to interact with the students easily. Students should be able to see any kind of visual aids that are provided.
Ideally the classroom will have a projector for the trainer to use when giving instructions. There should also be adequate workspace, and extra room for taking notes is preferable.
An advantage to attending training off-site is the lack of distractions. Phones are not ringing and the students can focus solely on the training. Keep in mind that the equipment used in an off-site training course might be different from what you use at work.
Be prepared to transfer what you learn in the classroom to the technology you use. For example, a training lab might use Microsoft Office XP, while you use Microsoft Office2000 in your office.
The condition of the training facility is important. Certainly you do not want to be training on out-of-date or malfunctioning equipment.
