Re: Question about getting paid ...

Hi, trainers ... has anyone had a problem getting paid after a class
that didn't go so well?

Not really but I've been lucky!
..
I did offer to visit the client prior to the class to set up the
software (minimum of 30 mins x 10 systems); this was declined on cost
grounds.

Who declined? The customer of the broker?

On arrival, there was no software set up, so the first
morning was spent doing that, whilst students were waiting and
whining.

Been there done that. I tend to use this as a learning opportunity...

There's a long catalog of other issues (improperly qualified students,
failing hardware, lack of labs and just not enough time) - the upshot
is that the training company claim to have given their students a full
refund and therefore they don't want to pay me. How would you handle
that?

I'd look at what my contract says. You did have a contract, didn't you??

Clearly, I've been screwed, as has the agency involved.

I'd bet that the agency had little alternative.

I'm prepared
to work for them again - on a cash with order basis - and at double
rates.

Depends on rate that means of course. The problem is, that having run a bad class, they may not want to use you again at any rate. :-(

The technical area in which I work is not filled with
qualified instructors and therefore I can hopefully give as good as I
got!

Lucky you!!
