NEW FOR 2017

Due to the need to defray costs associated with examiner training courses and in response to feedback from past training participants, the following changes are being implemented:

• In 2017, the training courses will be held from 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. on Tuesdays (for new and senior/alumni examiners) and Wednesdays (for all examiners) and 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Thursdays (for all examiners). No sessions will be held on Fridays.
• Training participants will be responsible for paying for their lunches in the NIST cafeteria each day on site. The average price for lunch each day is $8.00. Light snacks will be provided throughout the day in or near the classrooms.
• Light hors d’oeuvres will be served during the Wednesday evening reception from 6 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn hotel.
• Transportation to the area airports will not be provided after the training course ends on Thursday. The Baldrige Program will provide daily transportation from the Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites to and from the training location. Contact the hotel front desk for assistance reserving transportation to the area airports.

Identification

NIST currently accepts other forms of federally issued identification in lieu of a state-issued driver's license, such as a valid passport, passport card, DOD Common Access Card (CAC), Veterans ID, Federal Agency HSPD-12 IDs, Military Dependents ID, Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC), and TSA Trusted Traveler ID.
