If you need to create a training room – whether it is at

your office or another location – you will need training room furniture. There

are many options available, and you want to be sure that you have everything

that you need, and that you have selected the right furnishings for your

training sessions. Use this guide to select the right furnishings.

• How

  does the room need to be set up? Do you need a classroom style setting,

  with individual tables and chairs? Will long tables lined up in rows work

  best? Should you have round or oval tables that seat a certain number of

  people at each table? Is a conference table best? Think about the training

  that will be delivered and what the trainees will be expected to do during

  the session to make the right selection for your training room.

• How

  comfortable does the training room furniture need to be? Will your

  training sessions be long and tedious? The longer and the more tedious the

  training sessions are, the more comfortable the furnishing needs to be. Of

  course, you don’t want the furnishing to be so comfortable that your

  trainees fall asleep either. Consider the type of training that you will

  be conducting to select the right level of comfort.

• Consider

  space for training equipment. Other than the furnishing in the room, will

  there need to be room for additional equipment, such as video equipment, a

  television, computers, or overhead projectors? You must make sure that

  there is room for this equipment, and room for the furnishings, but you

  also need to make sure that the equipment and the furnishings do not

  clash, from the visual sense.

• How

  does the training room furniture need to be arranged? Again, you must

  determine the type of setting that you want, but then you really need to

  visualize how the room will be set up. For example, if you will use a

  series of tables that seat a certain number of people at each table, but

  all of those people will need to view the overhead projector, how can you

  arrange the tables so that this is possible? Think about this carefully,

  and then look at your options.

• Other

  things to consider. There may be other things that need to be considered

  for your specific training room. Will food or drinks be served? Do you

  need an area for special projects? Does a great deal of equipment need to

  be set up? Is the lighting right? Make sure that you really give a great

  deal of thought to the whole big picture so that you end up with the

  perfect training room.

Your

training room is a very important place for your new and existing employees,

and this means that the training room furniture is also very important. Make

sure that you use this guide when you select the furnishing, to be sure that

your room is complete and comfortable for those long or short training

sessions.
