Practical Final Exam Venue & Location

 Candidates & Patrollers - 

Our practical final exam will be in Concord.  Address and map below.  (For patrollers - this is not the Concord airport, as in past years).

SouthBay Candidates: Plan on starting at 11:00.  Start time to be confirmed.  As we discussed in class, I'd suggest you show up early, team-up and do some quick assessments as warm-up.  Then 15mins before the exam begins, we'll meet as a team for some final comments.

Patrollers: See the email strings on this & contact Mark Galicia for details on your participation.  Plan on a crisp 8:00 start

Address: 1255 Willow Pass Rd.  Concord, CA  94520
