MicroTek

This training facility is excellent!
1. It’s conveniently located in proximity to the Montgomery BART station — about an 8 minute walk.
2. The facility is clean. The technology is up to date.
3. The staff members are pretty friendly and quick to help any lost wanderers.
I’d highly recommend this facility for any future training sessions!

I had an overall good experience at MicroTek. If you are going to train here just remember to allow some time for walking/​driving/​taxi to get here (especially in the morning and when you leave in the evening).
Perks:
— nearby a lot of good food for lunch
— right across from the Transamerica Pyramid
— snacks and beverages complimentary
— nice break room area with TV
Quirks:
— not enough restrooms for all the training rooms
— chairs are uncomfortable

Great learning/​teaching environment. I was here teaching a class, and the room had about 30 computers set up classroom style. The projector was perfectly hooked up to the master computer (no technical difficulties woohoo!).
Breakfast is served in the morning, fresh baked cookies in the afternoon. The staff is extremely helpful and will provide anything you need. We had to lock the doors at lunch and the staff would graciously unlock when we returned.
The neighborhood is great for food, so during lunchtime there’s plenty of options. Just head downstairs, or if you’re feeling adventurous, wander down the block. Lodging nearby is not an issue, I stayed in union square and it was a 10 min walk.

I’ve been in an intense work training every day from 8 – 6 this week… freakin brutal. We’ve reached that point in the week where my esteemed colleagues are starting to snap at eachother, roll their eyes, drift off into space, yawn openly, and overall just cap out.
Training sucks but is necessary evil. In the past, my company has hosted trainings in hotel conference rooms: dark, windowless uncomfortable pits of death. MicroTek has been a total breath of fresh air during this commitment that *could be* a complete and total drag.
The training rooms are open, modern, clean and light with floor-​to-​ceiling windows. The tables and desks are fully equipped for laptop use, and most of the rooms have dell desktops available. Each room has one wall that serves as a giant dry-​erase board.
The food this week has been FANTASTIC. Meatloaf, fajitas, chicken parmesean, sandwiches… delicious. Even falafael and eggplant parm vegetarian options! Every day they bring warm cookies out of the oven every day at 2pm. You will see every other company groups training at the facility coincidentally breaking right at this time. :)
I gotta subtract a star for the cell phone service in here though… I was booted off a very important conference call while using a vacant room and 2 other calls were dropped in other corner pockets of the floor. If you have AT&T, plan accordingly for this!
If you are anticipating a large employee training and are in a position to choose a location, here me now: «PEOPLE DONT RETAIN INFORMATION EFFECTIVELY IF YOU LOCK THEM IN A DARK ROOM FOR FIVE DAYS STRAIGHT!» I would recommend MicroTek. Not only is staff unfathomably friendly and helpful, the bright, airy venue will keep your employees stimulated, focused well-​fed (+5 lbs)…and sane.

Located in the heart of the SF Financial district. A few minutes walk from Montgomery Bart station. Starbucks and Peet’s also on the same block — you’ll likely need it if you’re taking an all day computer class.
Pretty clean and effective set up — with a break area that has grocery store sized glass fridges stocked with complimentary soda & water. They also have counters loaded with snacks, breakfast foods, teas and coffees.
Our room was packed and we didn’t have enough computer stations for everyone — but I assume that’s more the fault of the class overbooking rather than of Microtek. Each computer station had the necessary files and were powerful enough to run what application we were learning. Can’t complain. I got to spend a day in the city and go home by 4:00.

I have training for the Certified Usability Analyst track in SF this week and it was held at the MicroTek Computer Labs facility. It’s conveniently located just a short walk from Montgomery BART station.
They serve breakfast at 8:30 which consists of bagel (plain & raisin), muffins (chocolate, banana nut, and blueberry), & oatmeal. They have coffee and small selection of teas, sodas up the wazoo, juices, and oddly enough cheese sticks. At around 2, they serve a snack which consists of cookies (white chocolate macadamia, chocolate chip, and chocolate chip chunk peanut), candies (M&Ms, Snickers, Kit Kat, etc) and chips (Doritos, Fritos, etc).
The room we’re in has 24 Dell computers and a big white board. People here are very friendly. Just as long as you rent the facilities you get all the amenities described above. Place is located to a lot of good food eateries, so for me it’s heaven. Overall a great place to take training.
