FAQs:

Do I have to be there for Sunday November 2nd? ABSOLUTELY!
Will I be ESRI certified after the GIS course? YES, if you pass with flying colors.
Do I have to stay for both courses? NO, we recognize that 2 weeks is a VERY long time—that is why we are creating the opportunity to only go for 6-8 days depending on the session.
It is possible to stay for both courses. YES
What if I can only be there for part of one course? SORRY, you must attend the whole course.'

Do I get my own private bedroom? 'NO, probably not. Space is at a premium and you will likely have a roommate.
