F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to get to Orlando?
​​
There are two airports in Orlando. Orlando International (MCO) and Orlando Sanford International (SFB). Both are around 25 min. and approximately 15 miles from the University of Central Florida where the workshop will be held. Both are major airports, but it should be mentioned that SFB is the central hub for Allegiant Air which often has extremely affordable rates from numerous cities across the US. We highly recommend checking to see if they fly from a city near you. www.allegiantair.com
Likewise, MCO is a Southwest favorite destination. Check out www.southwest.com for great deals with free checked bags.
Where's the best place to stay?
You're welcome to snag any accommodations you can find within the area. We have a block of rooms available for a discounted rate of $149 per night including breakfast at the Holiday Inn Orlando East - UCF Area. (1724 N Alafaya Trail, Orlando, FL 32826). this is 2 miles away so while technically walkable, there is $2 public transit available across the street that will take you right to the school. Attendees will have until January 20th 2024 to register under this hotel block.

Can I get certified?​
Unfortunately, due to the two day length of the workshop, we are unable to offer any Skills Proficiency Test classes. However, for those of you who wish to renew any previous weapons recognition, we will offer renewals in each of the eight SAFD weapons. *Renewal fees will be paid separately and are not included in tuition for the workshop.
