Depending on the class, some workbooks include a glossary of biotech terms and others may include a list of commonly used acronyms.

What sort of room set-up is required for your training?
We prefer the room to be set-up classroom style with all tables and chairs facing forward towards the screen.

A nice to have is a lapel mic if the room is large and a table at the front of the room for the instructor.
