Mark, Sorry for being late after vacation.
I'd recommend Colin's suggestion in either case: There is no better playground for the people you mentioned than a 2nd level VM!!! If you have the disk resources you even can give each trainee its own 2nd level z/VM system where he/she can test what ever he/she wants without disturbing anybody else. If you want to isolate this as much as possible - the better. Just bring a copy of any other z/VM system to your free partition, define the virtual machines to host the 2nd level test systems, and the games are open.
