Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I leave on Saturday night after training?
A. Yes, however we expect you to participate in training until 5 p.m. Saturday. Please keep in mind that Saturday evening may be a good time to explore the destination or network with other district leaders.
Q. Do I need to book my airline ticket through Worldview Travel?
