Trainer Instructions

The Recruiting and Training Team is responsible for scheduling all trainees for live, in-venue training. That scheduling process includes checking for venue cancellations, substitutions (we prefer not to send trainees to substitutes), any other recent trainings at the same venue or with the same trainer, and any other factors. 

The training team DOES NOT check with each trainer prior to sending the training schedule to the trainee and each of the trainers. If there is an issue with the schedule for the trainer - e.g. QFAC or substitution that we missed, birthday quiz, etc. - please let the training team know. About 99% of the time the training team can and will reschedule that training. 

For any in-venue training, new hires are instructed to do the following:

• Arrive 30 minutes before quiz start time

• Bring laptop and laptop charger/power cable

• Download & prep the quiz, including a playlist of background music

• Be prepared to run the host app on their own device for the whole quiz if it's Night 2 training

If your trainee arrives at your venue and did not bring their laptop, tell them to go home. Email the Training team (recruiting@geekswhodrink.com) to let them know the trainee was dismissed for being unprepared. If they show up with their laptop but did not prepare the materials, let us know in the feedback form, but have them stick around to help run quiz.

Please coordinate with the trainee if they'll need to plan on arriving earlier, if the parking situation is tricky, or if there's any other information you think they'll need regarding the venue/location.

Please email your trainee your sub instructions if you're the night two trainer. They should do as much set-up as possible - including snagging prizes - with as little assistance as possible.
