Travel Preparation Considerations
1. Most offered training courses span 3 days. Unless otherwise specified, class begins on Monday morning at 8:30 AM. If traveling from afar, we suggest you travel on Sunday and stay at a local hotel to be well rested for class on Monday morning. 2. We suggest you schedule the return flight no earlier than 2:00 PM. This will give sufficient time to travel to the airport, return a rental car, and clear security. 3. Pack appropriately. Bring comfortable clothing, however, ensure it is suitable for work. Also, check the Oosterhout NB, NL weather forecast before deciding what to pack: https://weather.com/weather/today/l/NLXX0372:1:NL
4. If you have interest in touring around the Netherlands while here - please: a) Research and plan your extracurricular activities ahead of time - as class time should not be used for this purpose. b) Ensure extracurricular activities do not negatively impact the training course (consider only activities that are within a reasonable drive from Oosterhout, and that will leave you well rested and on time for each next day of class).
