Note: during the course, you will receive 1 large binder (4") with training course material that you will need to make your own arrangements to ship them back to you if you do not wish to pack them in your luggage.
*We will schedule a longer lunch on the last day to give you the opportunity to go to a local FedEx or UPS if you prefer to ship the binders back to yourself.

Also, please review the agenda to be aware that the last day of the course is scheduled to run until 5 p.m. so that you can plan your return flights accordingly.
