While price might be the number one consideration, there are a lot of other factors you should investigate when choosing to rent a computer training facility.

First there is the obvious question: do the specs of the computers meet the technical needs of the training? You will want to check that the CPU speed, the memory, and the size of the hard drives are sufficient. You will also want to make sure that the type and size of the monitors meet your needs.

Next, you need to inquire about technical support. Is there a dedicated technical support person on site who has the expertise to install and support the software you will be using? Be sure that a technician will be on site the entire time that the classroom is being utilized to handle any problems that might occur.

It is very important to check the physical characteristics of the classroom. Is it large enough so that each student has adequate space for monitors, manuals and workbooks - plus room to take notes? Is the projector is of high quality and bright enough for the students to see without turning out all the lights? Also, are there whiteboards, flip charts, markers and other media for your instructor to use.

Heating and air conditioning is an often overlooked aspect when renting a computer classroom. You don’t want your students to be freezing or falling asleep because it is too warm. Ideally, the classroom should to have its own temprature controls so that heat and air conditioning can be adjusted according to the comfort of students.

Also, be sure to inquire about other amenities that are available for your students. Does the rental fee include beverages and snacks? If not, is there a per person charge for catering? Is there a break room in the facility available to the students? Can lunch and/or dinner be catered? If students are traveling, how close are the nearest hotels? Are there any hotels within walking distance or is other transportation needed? Are there negotiated rates with area hotels for your students?

A final consideration is the building itself. Is the location centrally located and easy to find? Is the building modern and attractive. Do the classrooms have windows? Is free parking available at the facility for students? If not, find out where parking can be found and what fees the student can expect to pay. If there is a charge for parking you may want to make prior arrangements to cover the cost for the students.

By following these guidelines you will ensure your ability to provide a comfortable and hassle free environment for your training presentation.
