Confirm participant numbers and any dietary requirements with the caterer 48 hours before the day.
Test all AV equipment — projector, microphone, and video conferencing if applicable — the morning of the event.
Prepare printed materials and digital resources ahead of time so facilitators are not delayed at the start.
Limit each session block to 90 minutes maximum to maintain participant engagement.
Collect evaluation forms before participants leave to maximise response rates.
Research on adult learning suggests session blocks of 60–90 minutes are most effective before attention begins to drop. Schedule a proper break after each block rather than trying to push through. Afternoon sessions may benefit from more interactive formats — group exercises, role plays, or case studies — to maintain energy.
Off-site training removes participants from their usual work environment and minimises interruptions, which can improve focus and signal that the organisation values professional development. On-site training is more cost-effective and easier to organise. Whichever you choose, communicate a clear 'phones away' expectation to minimise distractions.
Use end-of-day evaluation forms to capture immediate reactions, then follow up 4–6 weeks later with line managers or a short survey to assess knowledge retention and behaviour change on the job. Linking training outcomes to specific KPIs or compliance metrics also provides measurable ROI for the organisation.
