What do you need to do to arrange training?

Our needs:  All that we require is (1) a room suitable for the training, in addition, the room needs to accessable by mobility scooter as Instructor is handicapped and on crutches, (2) a table about 4 ft. x 4 ft. in size, and (3) a projection screen, extension cord and power strip. We bring all necessary equipment and materials with us except as just noted. We also take care of and pay for our own travel, lodging, meals, and other expenses; the course fee is all-inclusive. Some suggestions for a successful program - -

BEFORE FINALIZING TRAINING AT YOUR AGENCY, PLEASE PROCESS AND FINALIZE YOUR APPROVAL AND FUNDING.  WHILE WE DO NOT REQUIRE A CONTRACT TO CONDUCT TRAINING (ALTHOUGH WE APPRECIATE ONE), WE DO ASK THAT ALL AGENCY APPROVALS BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO LOCKING IN THE TRAINING.  WE NEVER APPLY A PENALTY CHARGE TO CANCELLATIONS, HOWEVER, IF YOUR FUNDING IS NOT APPROVED AND YOU KNOW THAT THE TRANING CAN NOT BE HELD, WE WILL APPRECIATE THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE NOTICE.  

• Try to choose 2 or 3 different dates for flexibility.

• Facilities selected for our classes must be cost-free unless the requesting agency intends to pay any associated user fees.

• Contact us first to see if we are available on specific dates; we will tentatively block the dates on our calendar.  There is no obligation or penalty if the training can not be completed.  Call 1-301-920-4302  or email chenry@jmarprotocol.com.

• Next, contact your funding source to determine if the training can be approved and funded.

• If approval is likely, let us know so that we can lock in the dates.  Again, there is no obligation or penalty should you need to cancel. Once the training has been approved, let us know so that we can begin our travel planning and preparation of training materials.

• Choose a location in which participants can sit at a table rather than just in chairs, and try to choose one that has access to a break area or snack facility so that participants can get coffee, sodas or snacks during the day.

• If there will be participants from outside your agency or off your installation, please be sensitive to security and access restrictions, as well as parking limitations and requirements for those attending the class.  Also, our instructor is not a federal employee; therefore, the training site must be one to which we can obtain access (we do have retired military ID cards). 

• Also, for participants from outside your agency or off the installation, please make available to them information on basic services: rest rooms, snack bars, lunch options, etc.  This can be done at the beginning of the training.

• We will need a room that will provide at least 15 feet between the projection screen and our projector.  Due to compatibility issues, we prefer to use our own projectors and laptop computers. Although we can try to connect our laptop to your projector, we have not had a lot of luck with that in the past (it only works about 50% of the time).  We can bring our presentation on CD for use on your system, however, your computer must have Microsoft Power Point installed.

• We will need access to the training site one (1) hour prior to the start time so that we can set up. Someone responsible for the training within the requesting agency should also plan to be at the training site shortly before and when the class begins to ensure those who are scheduled to attend show up and to address any administrative issues that may need to be covered.

• We ask that at least a few days before the training, you provide us directions to the installation or agency, including the training site itself, and any necessary information about parking restrictions. 
  

• If the training site is on a second or higher floor, please let us know where an elevator is located as we will be bringing 2-3 bags of equipment and materials and the instuctor has pysical restrictions.

Should you have any questions about arranging this kind of training, please feel free to contact us at 1-301-920-4301 or by email to chenry@jmarprotocol.com.
