A training materials checklist should be specific enough to prevent small failures from disrupting the session. The right list depends on whether the workshop is in-person, online or hybrid.
In-person workshop essentials
- Laptop and charger
- Projector, display or HDMI adapters
- Presentation clicker
- Flipchart or whiteboard
- Marker pens
- Printed workbooks or handouts
- Name badges and pens
- Extension leads / extension cords if required
- Water and refreshments where provided
Digital and hybrid workshops
Check the meeting link, host permissions, screen sharing, audio, breakout rooms and a backup way to contact participants. Download any files that would be difficult to access if the venue Wi-Fi fails.
Room setup is part of the materials plan
A workshop that depends on group discussion needs a layout that supports it. Record table layout, wall space, accessibility, power and facilitator position alongside the equipment checklist.
