IMP PRJ General: Site Requirements for Onsite Training

The goal of this list is to help your organization verify that the sites you are selecting for your Onsite Training venues/environments allow for a successful ParishSOFT Onsite Training.

Room

  • Adequate room for the number attending. Maximum 25 participants.
    • Seating adequate for number of attendees.
    • Adequate table space for laptop/desktop and space for note taking.
  • Podium & small table for presenter.
  • Security: Is the room/space secure enough to leave equipment out overnight for a 2-day training session?  

IT Requirements

  • Projector and Screen or Large Screen TV with HDMI or VGA Connection
    • HDMI cables that will reach from the projector to the desired location of the presenters laptop.
    • Screen size should be adequate for the number attending and the room size.
  • Broadband Internet Connection
  • Laptops/Desktop Computers
    • One per trainee (Up to 25 computers)
    • One mouse per trainee
  • Browsers
    • Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari
    • Recommend Chrome for Family Suite Training and Firefox for Accounting Training.  
  • Power: At least 2 circuits if planning 25 laptops/desktops (circuits – meaning 2 circuit breakers – not necessarily outlets).
    • Extension cords/power strips to allow bringing power to the tables, or room configuration that allows tables near wall outlets to bring power via power strips. Safety Tip: Tape down any cords going across the room, as attendees and trainers will need to walk throughout the room.  
    • Power cords long enough to reach the projector and presenter's laptop and power strips if needed.
  • Microphone & Speakers if required (based on room size).
  • What is the Wi-Fi password?
  • Is there a separate login and password for each computer?

Hospitality & Planning

  • Will Refreshments/lunch be available for participants, or should they brown bag it?
  • Should the trainer bring water?
  • What is the building name and room training will be conducted in?
  • What time can we access the room?
  • What time will training start and end? If all day  recommended 9 am - 4:30 pm with 30 minute lunch.
  • Where should the trainer park when they arrive?
  • Who should the trainer ask for when they arrive?
