Other Questions
Please check the website or your welcome letter for the specific start and stop times for your course. Note that you are required to be present for the entire course to receive a Certificate of Completion. Please adjust your schedule accordingly.
Tuition for courses designated as “residential” includes meals and lodging. For “non-residential” courses you are responsible for your own meals and lodging.
In addition to the Washington, DC, classrooms, EMDC delivers residential courses at the Federal Executive Institute. Please check the website for class locations.
Commuting to a course designated “residential” is strongly discouraged. EMDC’s residential programs include evening work, such as small group projects, one-on-one coaching, and other program activities. After-hours networking with other course participants also helps optimize your learning.
