Questions About Registering for Both Courses

FAQ Accordion Widget

No. Register for TAVA whenever you're ready — your $300 Leadership discount code stays valid, so you can register for Leadership any time before the course fills or closes on September 12, 2026.

Yes. Leadership stands on its own as a 1.5-day course. The $300 discount is only tied to a TAVA registration, so a Leadership-only seat is priced at the standard rate.

That's TAVA's full run (Sept 15–17) — you're covered without needing to stay the extra day. Leadership begins the afternoon of Sept 17 and runs through Sept 18, for students staying on.

Both are available for each course. Government/military rates require a valid .mil/.gov affiliation at registration. Use the rate toggle above to see accurate bundle pricing for your situation.

Tuition, course materials, USF certification and digital badge, and daily coffee/pastries (plus a hot lunch on Leadership's first day). Travel and hotel are not included — no discounted room block is available.
