[Trainer-talk] training sessions with clients

[Jonathan Tyrer]

You're lucky.  In the UK, until fairly recently, we used to have to do
an entire day.

Everything after about two in the afternoon was a waste of time, money
and effort.

Now days, most people's training is specified in three-hour blocks.  I
think this is still a bit long for a new user, especially one learning
to use speech,.

I used to forget the shortcuts after four hours - the clients had no chance!
