Hi all, my experience as organiser and instructor is that the room used for teaching is more important than the class size (given the same ratio of students and helpers). If you have a room where helpers can walk easily and that instructors need to not direct face the projector this will impact the learners experience.

I would try to keep the class size up to 30 learners and accept some extra in a case-by-case scenario. I would not have a class bigger than 40 in any scenario. Raniere >
