I've had this problem almost every time I do training on-site. If  it's
onsite, they seem to not take their investment seriously, and  wander in
and out. I had a training where, of 18 people registered,  only one
person was actually there for the entire time of the class,  with the
rest of them wandering in and out, having 2-3 hour meetings,  leaving
early, arriving late, and so on. And that one person wasn't  exactly the
most interested student. The folks that really wanted to  learn the
material ended up being there less than half the time.

One fix that's worked well for us at Cheetahmail
is to have an open class on Saturday for some
subsidized rate (say $200) with the local
company picking up the room charge and paying
the head count for their employees who show up.
That allows the teacher to balance out the lower
fee with a few more people and gives the people
showing up a chance to do so without work
impinging on their daily routine.

Net result is a win-win with the company getting
a lower fee and the atendees getting a chance to
learn in peace :-)
