FAQs
I want to attend both curricula training days (i.e. 24/7 Dad and InsideOut Dad), but I already have one curricula. What would the cost be?
You would pay the full price for the 1 day training with curricula and $189 for the other day (without curricula)
Do you offer a discount for multiple registrations from the same organization?
Yes, if 5 or more people register from the same organization, we will offer an additional 10% discount on whichever training option you purchase.
2-3 people from my organization want to split the days of the training – each attend one day. Can we get the 2 or 3 day discounted price?
Yes, just let us know who will be attending on which day!
Does the training cost include meals, travel or accommodations?
In order to keep training costs as low as possible, we have not bundled those expenses into the registration price. This allows local attendees to only purchase what they need and allows out of town guests to make their own choices about meals and travel. Continental brekafast and snacks/coffee breaks are provided, however attendees are responsible for their own lunch arrangements (several restaurants are located within walking distance of the Fairfield Inn.)
Do you have a special rate for guest rooms at the Fairfield Inn?
Yes, our room rate is $149 per night. Please contact the front desk at (301) 916-0750. Tell them that you should receive the National Fatherhood Initiative rate and give them your dates. NFI's rate is $149 per night plus tax.

What if my plans change and I have to cancel?
We understand that sometimes things come up that we can’t plan for. If you cancel prior to May 23rd, we’ll refund all payments minus a $25 processing fee. After May 23rd, there is a $75 processing fee. No-shows will not be refunded and curricula – if purchased – will be sent to the attendee.
I’m not sure if I can attend; can I just show up on site?
Since we don’t want to disappoint anyone, we suggest that you call NFI’s offices at 301-948-0599 prior to the training to ensure there is space available. Additionally, we will only bring the exact number of curricula ordered, so registering in advance ensures that we will have your requested curricula available.
