Location: Most of our classes will be held at our Fairfax Training Center at 4041 University Drive, Suite 101, Fairfax, Virginia. You will be notified if classes are to be held at alternate locations.
Directions (Metro): Taking Metro is easy; plan about 90 minutes from Metro Center or National Airport. Take the Orange Line Metro to the Vienna Station (South Parking exit) and the CUE bus (Gold 1) to 4041 University Drive.
Directions (Driving): Take Interstate 66 or Route 50 toward Fairfax City (west from the Capital Beltway I-495 or east from outlying suburbs in Prince William or Loudoun Counties). Turn south on Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road). Proceed about 1.5 miles to the traffic light at Main Street (Route 236), and turn left. Turn right at the next light onto University Drive. Continue past the next light and then turn left onto South Street. Turn right into the parking lot (free). Enter the building through the rear entrance.
Class Attendance: Prompt arrival and participation throughout the full workshop is expected and supports the quality of the workshops. Please note that late arrival and/or early departure from any workshop may impact issuance of a certificate of completion and require a make-up of the workshop at a subsequent time.
Class Size And Snacks: We limit class size to support class interaction, maximize skill development, and provide all participants an opportunity to get the most value from the training. Typical class sizes are 10 to 24 participants. Most of our training is interactive and requires your concentration and energy. We support this level of participation with light snacks, hot and cold beverages, spring water, and periodic breaks.
