Technical Training

I have recently done some 'virtual' technical training on a certain technology.  It always seems to be the same to me.  Now Im not a fan of 'virtual' training.  I need to be there with someone and able to ask questions and interact.  Virtual training does work for some, but not for me.  But one thing I do think is that training should actually prepare you for installing equipment, from start to finish.  It seems like what I typically see is that the trainer will go over what each feature is instead of what it is AND how to implement it.  I mean the labs that they give you just do this 'step 1, do this. step 2, do this'.  It just seems like there is a better way of teaching this stuff.  Maybe this works well for some people, but it doesnt for me.  Im thinking in the future, I might want to be a technical trainer.
