I think the general rule is two minutes per slide. I typically allocate three minutes per slide -- and use it ;) (perhaps I'm long-winded :)
Training is a bit different since there may be hands-on time in the presentation, people will be more likely to ask questions if they don't understand, and you are likely to provide a more in- depth explanation of concepts. And, a lot depends upon the material itself. I would start with about 20 slides per hour, do a few trial runs, and adjust from there. 2 cents, Dana W.
