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 :-) -- Steven Lembark 85-09 90th Street Workhorse Computing Woodhaven, NY 11421 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1 888 359 3508
