I worked as a trainer teaching two day flash beginner classes. The main 

problem with these classes is, that about 50% of the people going there do 

not want to learn anything. In germany the company has to give (=pay for 

it) you the chance  to attend "advanced training" classes. So the employees 

that are not really ambitious about learning but want to have their two 

days off anyway choose the flash course because it sounds better than 

"Word" or "Outlook" and then spend two days drinking coffee. This is no fun 

for them (because the coffee is bad in these facilities) and it is bad for 

you as a trainer because some people spend a lot of (their own) money to 

REALLY learn something.
