Flight arrangements should be scheduled so that the trainee arrives the day before training begins, since training begins at 9:00 a.m. on the first day. It is also recommended that departure flights be scheduled 7:00 p.m. or later on the last day of training to allow adequate transportation time to the airport.
Important Note: Training classes are subject to cancellation in the event of insufficient registrations. Therefore, DO NOT make non-refundable travel arrangements until you receive both a “Preliminary Registration” e-mail AND a “Final Confirmation” e-mail from NCAC that the training will take place (approximately 4 to 6 weeks before the training). In the event of cancellation due to insufficient registrations, 100% of the registration fee will be refunded.
Trainees are responsible for all expenses incurred in traveling to and from Huntsville, Alabama, where the training will be held.
Airport Shuttle Service: Embassy Suites and SpringHill Suites provides a complimentary airport shuttle between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.. If your arrival or departure times are outside of the hotel shuttle hours, you can arrange for a shuttle through Executive Connection, Inc. (256-772-0186), or you can call for a taxi. Attendees are responsible for any expenses incurred in traveling between the airport to the hotel.
Shuttle Service to Training Center: Embassy Suites and SpringHill Suites will provide transportation by van between the hotel and the training site at no cost to trainees. It is recommended that trainees take advantage of the hotel van transportation, because parking at the training site is limited.
- The vans will depart from the Embassy Suites and SpringHill Suites at 8:00 a.m. each morning. The training is scheduled to end by 4:30 p.m. each day.
- At the end of the training, the hotel vans will leave the training site at 4:30 p.m. to take participants to the airport. If your flight is scheduled to depart after 7:00 p.m., you may choose to take a van either to the airport or back to the hotel.
- If your flight is scheduled to depart prior to 7:00 p.m., you will be responsible for making your own arrangements (taxicab, etc) to the airport. (Please note that you are expected to remain for the entire training in order to earn your training certificate.)
Rental Car: Since the Embassy Suites and SpringHill Suites are located in downtown Huntsville and is in close proximity to Huntsville’s downtown area, most attendees will find it unnecessary to rent a car. The Embassy Suites and SpringHill Suites also provides complimentary shuttle service on an availability basis to transport guests within a 3 mile radius of the hotels.
