Inclement Weather

It may be necessary to delay, postpone, or cancel an ASI training class due to weather conditions. Classes held in Alexandria , VA are cancelled only when ASI's Alexandria office is closed. The office is closed only when the city government of Alexandria closes. This may be verified at the city's website: http://ci.alexandria.va.us/ .

We are aware that inclement weather may prohibit or delay the travel to the scheduled training facility even when classes are run and will do our best to accommodate students who cannot attend for these reasons. Please call (703) 739-3100 for the latest information regarding delays, postponements, and cancellations caused by foul weather.

Class Hours

All ASI training classes begin promptly at 9:00 AM and end approximately at 5:00 PM (unless stated differently on your registration confirmation notice). Please plan accordingly for traffic and parking when attending your training class. Lunch is not be provided but there are several options available nearby.

Virginia Airports

There are three airports in the Washington , DC area. Washington Dulles or BWI often offer the most economical airfares, but require additional travel time to Alexandria . For more information on any of the three airports, visit www.quickaid.com .

National Airport is the closest to the ASI Worldwide Sales Office - about 5 miles away. Check with your hotel as some offer complimentary shuttle transportation to and from the airport. Cabs are available for approximately $7.00 each way. You may also take the Metro ( Washington 's very clean and safe subway system) from the airport to the Braddock Road Metro stop (on the Blue or Yellow line) in Alexandria for under $2.50. ASI's office is about an 8 block walk from there.

Washington Dulles International Airport is approximately 25 miles from Alexandria . You may take the Super Shuttle for $22 one way, or taxi service for approximately $50 one way. You may wish to consider renting a car if flying into Dulles Airport . Allow 45 minutes drive time.

Baltimore-Washington International Airport is approximately 40 miles from Alexandria . You may take the Super Shuttle ($35), a taxi ($65), or rent a car. Taking a train from BWI is doable but more complicated: take Amtrak or Marc to Union Station. Take a cab from there to Alexandria or get on the metro and transfer at the appropriate station to a blue or yellow line to Braddock Road . Allow at least 60 minutes drive time.

For more specifics on extended travel options, you may call Amtrak at (800) 872-7245, www.amtrak.com or Super Shuttle at (800) 258-3826, www.supershuttle.com .
