By giving a training course, you can transfer knowledge, inspire people, activate, strengthen connections... In short: plenty of reasons to give a training course. Whether you want to organise training as a company or an individual: how do you make it a success both for you as organiser and for your participants?
What should you think about before, during and after training? In this article you will discover the do's and dont's and expert Elmi Evers, account manager at Meetup Jaarbeurs Meetup, shares how to give your participants an unforgettable training day. Good preparation is as important for you as an organiser as it is for your participants. Then you both know where you stand. For the participants, it is nice to know what is expected of them.
By sharing the outline of the training programme in advance, you work on a piece of expectation management. Should your visitors do preparatory assignments, watch videos, read articles, think of questions? And how much time will that take?
Also make sure you gain insight into what participants expect. Maybe they think of different things than you do beforehand, in which case it is nice if you can take those expectations into account and respond to them by, for example, adjusting the programme a little.

The venue is an essential part of a training course. When selecting a training venue , you want it to be well located and have the right facilities. In terms of location, it is important that it is easily accessible. If your visitors come from all over the country, or the world, choose a central location that is easy to reach. Also consider accessibility by public transport: not only is this convenient and advantageous for visitors, it is also environmentally conscious.

In terms of facilities, you want to meet at least the basic expectations of your guests, but preferably exceed them, of course. At least make sure there is good technology: working wifi, enough power outlets, etc. This is also where a pitfall lies right away, Elmi explains. "In recent years, organisers have often been obliged to organise their meetings in hybrid form. As this has now become normal, hybrid resources are often assumed to be included as standard with the room. Of course, our halls have the standard AV resources, such as a projector, beamer, AVG and HDMI connection and a sound system. But hosting a hybrid event often requires more. Think amplified internet, camera, microphones and/or technical support. We can of course facilitate this, but it is nice for both parties to coordinate this well in advance. Communicate well and on time what your requirements are, so that we have time to set up a successful hybrid event."

The atmosphere at the event venue is also important: people should feel comfortable and free to learn things and make mistakes. Of course, how you 'shape the right atmosphere; varies from occasion to occasion, but consider, for example, questions such as; do I want to create a school feel or a totally different setting? Does a circle or a table arrangement in groups work better? Do we stay in one location or switch between them?
We have opted for a combination at Jaarbeurs MeetUp: on each floor, in addition to the meeting rooms, there is also a central hall shared by all the rooms on the same floor. Where our rooms radiate tranquillity for supreme concentration and focus, the halls are colourful and creatively equipped. The hall ensures interaction and meetings; this is also where, for example, all catering events take place.

So don't underestimate the value of good catering. It will improve the atmosphere, the general mood of your guests (you will get through the day more pleasantly with a well-filled stomach) and you can also convey certain values. That may sound a bit vague. But consider how you view an organisation that only serves ham sandwiches versus one that also offers vegan, halal and kosher options. Or, for instance, make conscious choices regarding your suppliers and caterers: support local businesses and choose products that don't have to come from far away. That way, you can show your greenest side.
Elmi: "We have noticed an increasing demand for an all-vegetarian catering interpretation. As we strive to be Europe's most sustainable event venue, this is obviously a trend we are happy to respond to. Our standard catering package already offers no meat and only includes a fish sandwich on the lunch buffet. During the reception, we now even serve a vegan pastry."

Something you want to avoid at all times is participants dropping out during the training. Elmi: "Many trainings consist of the same kind of standard programme. And always the same thing, participants get bored of that." People simply have a certain attention span and energy distribution throughout the day. No matter how interesting your story is, sending out information from 9 to 5 is not wise. Therefore, keep your participants active by creating an interactive and varied programme so that they don't even get a chance to check out. Apart from creating more engagement, you also increase the learning return. Some ways to keep your participants active are:
Incorporate active elements in training
Make sure participants do not have to sit still and absorb information in one fixed place all day. Change locations and include elements in your training that require participants to move around. This is easy, for example, when you present relevant statements where participants have to indicate by walking in a certain direction what they agree with - and stimulate creativity.
Convey knowledge through various means
Listening to a monologue all day is not conducive to information absorption. Think back to those 8-hour school days during your high school days: rather not. Therefore, incorporate various ways of conveying your knowledge or message in a training session, and consider this beforehand when choosing a location. Then consider a space in which you have freedom of movement, and the right equipment in terms of technical facilities. For instance, you can show sound clips, podcasts and videos, and perhaps even use VR and Metaverses.
Add something original to your programme
This way, you maintain the interest of your participants. This can be something simple, such as a game. At Jaarbeurs, besides moving the necessary chairs and benches or game assignments with painters' tape, it is also possible to invite guest speakers. Elmi says: "For instance, a falconer came to one of the meetings recently, with real birds of prey. The arrival of a quick poet or quick artist also gives positive memories of the day!" If you consult in advance, a lot can be arranged.

Good 'aftercare' is just as important as that good preparation. What the after-care consists of, of course, depends on the training. But it is nice for your participants to be able to view and use the materials used afterwards. Think of sending them presentation sheets, videos, websites and platforms used. By doing so, you not only ensure a better overall experience for your participants, you also increase the chances of them giving you something back, so to speak. For example, completing an evaluation of the training, leaving a good review, spreading positive word of mouth or retention.
