WHEN AND WHERE DOES THE PROGRAM TAKE PLACE?

All six Guiding Leaders courses will take place at the Glidewell Clinical Education Center in Newport Beach, California. Utilized for courses, labs and trainings, this state-of-the-art education center is just five minutes away from John Wayne Airport. Courses are two days each and the sessions will run from 7 a.m.–5 p.m. on both days.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE I BOOK MY TRAVEL?

We recommend that all participants stay in one of our partnered hotels, as cohort bonding tends to extend past the courses and into the evenings. Another benefit of staying at the Hyatt or Hampton Inn is complimentary shuttle service to and from campus. Shuttles arrive once in the morning and once after session each day.
