Good questions
Before you begin.
Should I visit before I commit?
If the trainer allows it, yes. Seeing the space and meeting the people tells you more than a website can.
Is it rude to ask about methods?
No. Describing methods plainly is part of the job, and vague answers are worth noting.
Do I get any updates during the stay?
Many trainers send photos or short videos. Ask how often and by what means before you sign.
What if my questions get brushed aside?
Take that as information. You can keep looking.
