Your Guide to Hiring Training Rooms in Sydney

Before you actually start scouting for a training room, you should start by discovering your team’s needs and what they expect from the event. Don’t be afraid to ask colleagues for their opinions on how you can make the most of their learning experience. Once you know where you stand, you can start planning the training!

Seating arrangements

Seat the participants according to the type of work they are going to engage in. For individual work, classroom style seating is best. If you are planning brainstorming and working in groups, consider the round table style. Should you plan to hold a discussion, pick the boardroom style or U-shape style seating arrangement.

Lighting and Temperature

Two crucial yet often forgotten elements are proper lighting and temperature. Getting these right will guarantee maximum comfort during training sessions. Artificial light is fine, providing that it is strong enough to illuminate the whole room and can be dimmed when needed. However, the best option would be a room with natural light which is more comfortable on the eyes. Make sure the room provides blinds to block any sunlight that might cause problems at certain times of day. When it comes to temperature, the room should be kept between 18 and 22 Celsius for optimum comfort.

Accessibility and safety

Make sure the training room is accessible for everyone. Before you decide on a venue, contact the manager to check whether the training room is wheelchair accessible and easy to evacuate in case of an emergency.

Noise and other distractions

Learning and working require peace and quiet. Noise and other distractions can have a negative impact on a training session, since attendees won’t be able to focus. That’s why it is important to make sure that the training room isn’t too noisy. Soundproof rooms are an excellent choice!  You won’t have to listen to people having a meeting, conference, or training session next door.

Refreshments and breaks

Refreshments and breaks are essential if the training session is going to last for half or even the whole day. Ideally, there should be breaks every 60-90 minutes and refreshments should be provided in the same room or somewhere close.

Impression

Does the training room give you the energy to study, explore and brainstorm the moment you step in? Then it is the right choice! The best training rooms have all the elements to inspire and motivate participants. Make sure that the environment will imbue attendees with a sense of energy and well-being. This will help ensure that they will get the most from the training.

Technology

In order to deliver the best standard of training, proper equipment should be provided. Whiteboards, projector, speakers, and laser pointer are a must. Make sure the internet connection is stable so that the training can be held uneventfully. Ensure that the hire fee includes all the equipment you need. We recommend contacting the venue manager to discuss the details of hire.

Location

All attendees must have easy access to the location, whether they are travelling by public or private transportation. Make sure the training room is close to the metro and has enough parking space. The best training room locations in Sydney are:
