* How much time do you have to attend the course? VoIP training programs vary in length from an afternoon seminar to two or three days. 
 
* What level of information do you need? If you just would like to get an overview of the technology and understand the jargon words the afternoon seminar is probably sufficient. If you are a networking or IT specialist for your company or small business you would probably want to choose the longer seminars. 
 
* How far do you want to travel? This can be time and cost restricting. 
 
* How much to you want to spend? In person seminars and workshops are generally more expensive than the online or CD courses. 
 
* Do you learn best by seeing, hearing and experimenting or do you learn best by reading and figuring it out yourself?
