You have so much you want to teach, how do you structure it so that your training course is both interesting and challenging? How much theory can you squeeze into an hour before your attendees have forgotten where you started? How do structure your course to account for classes which move slower or faster than average?

This talk will describe what Perl Training Australia has learned about course structure for technical courses involving lots of hands-on programming exercises. We will cover answers to all the above, as well discussing other issues such as cognitive load, learning fatigue and ideal classroom set up.
