Class Times - 9 to 5
Classes are held from 9 am to 5 pm each day. Please schedule your travel plans to accommodate your full training including the last day which lets out at 4PM. Certificates will be handed out at the end of the last class.
Airport - BWI
Although the DC Metropolitan area has 3 major airports; (BWI)-Baltimore Washington International is by far the most convenient to our facility. If you are arriving on a Sunday, traffic is usually not an issue but if you plan on traveling during the week, please account for our rush hour traffic, which can be a bit unpredictable. Arriving on Sunday would allow you more flexibility. Since the last class ends at 4PM, it would be a challange to make a return flight earlier then 6:30.
Account for travel to airport car rental and check in, shuttle to airport, early check in requirement of your airline.

Car Rental
We are located between Baltimore and Washington DC. If you are interested in venturing out to see the surrounding area, or just want flexible transportation then we recommend you rent a vehicle. Most if not all car rental facilities at BWI are off site so plan additional time for a shuttle to and from the airport.
