What are some nearby airports?

Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS).

What time does the training begin?

Most courses begin at 8:30 AM and end at 5:30 PM. Upon registration, exact start and end times are provided.

 

Where should I stay?

There are many nearby hotels. Here are our suggestions:

Aloft Austin at The Domain, 11601 Domain Drive, Austin TX 78758

There are several other accommodations available in the area offering a variety of lodging types and prices. You may want to conduct a search online for options available for your reservations. It's preferable to be within walking distance of the training location to avoid traffic.

 

Should I rent a car?

Depends. A taxi from the airport to your hotel should suffice, and shuttle services from the hotel are often provided—check with your hotel.

Do I need to fly in the day before and leave the night after?

This primarily depends on if you are able to arrive early enough the day of the class to meet the scheduled start time. Most people tend to fly in the night before a training so they can check into their hotel. It is very possible to catch a flight out the same night as the final day of training, as long as you are conscious of the 5:30 p.m. end time.

Not unless otherwise noted. There will be a break for lunch around noon and two 15-minute breaks: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. You can walk to any local deli and restaurant.

You do not need to bring anything to the course and no preparation is required. You will be supplied with the course books and handouts. You are welcome to take notes on the material directly or you may bring your electronic devices to take notes, though we do encourage you to disconnect during the training.

What happens if I have a meeting scheduled during the class hours?

We ask that all cell phones and email be completely turned off during class and that students use the numerous breaks and lunch to take care of any business. If attendees need to leave class they are free to do so, but we ask that they leave quietly and not disturb the class.

We highly recommend that attendees not do this for a number of reasons:

• They may miss information that is critical for the certification
• The instructor will not spend class time reviewing anything they miss, so if material is dependent upon something they have missed, it may be difficult for them to understand
• Additionally, the certificates are delivered at the end of the

Please use the breaks and lunch to take care of any business.

We do a post-class survey at the end of class. While this may be done from your mobile phone, you might want to have your laptop available to complete this survey in a time effective manner.
