I should be going to the integrad program in chicago soon and was just curious what other peoples experiences were with it and if anyone had any info about it. What time does it start and end everyday? Whats it like where you stay (any places nearby to eat or anything)? How do you get to and from the training? And mainly what is the training like and do you have any tips or pointers? Thanks
Well first off they will put you In a hotel during the week of class. The hotel I stayed In was called the DoubleTree Hotel,was pretty nice. The class begins everyday at like 900 am and ends about maybe 5 to 530, you can be disqualified for being late, one of the instructors got on me about that the first day I was their. On friday Is a half day and the last day, It ends at 1200 pm in the afternoon. If you pass, they give you your certificate and picture, and the shuttle takes you back to the hotel where you would have to order your stuff than leave quickly. As far as eating, you eat their In the lunch room at intergrad, they bring food in to you, nobody leaves the building to eat. Oh, the shuttle bus takes all the candidates to and from the hotel to intergrad, you dont drive your car back and forth. the first three days they will grade your uniform, must be ironed shoes polished crease in your legs and arm sleeves. the first three days our whole class failed on uniform. They rest is just computer tests, road tests, your 5 and 10 and that's pretty much it, unless you need more detail i can tell you exactly what they are going to do if you want.
