where to stay, learn and play in OKC
Oklahoma City. It's really not as bad as you might think. For those of you not familiar with central Oklahoma, we want to assure you that when you visit for training you will be met by a thriving, growing and dynamic suburban city.
All the amenities you have come to expect, plus a few more that may surprise you, can be found right here in the Norman Oklahoma area. It shouldn't be too hard for you to enjoy your stay with us and maybe even have fun after the class ends in the afternoon.
The greater Oklahoma City metro area is the largest city in the Great Plains area with a population of over 1.3 million people, who for the most part are generous, polite and genuine. Many visitors really like the southern charm with the western "bootstrap" spirit that makes Okies unique.

getting around the metro
- Rental Vehicles: We highly recommend that you rent a vehicle for your stay in Norman. This will facilitate your commute from the airport to the hotel, the hotel to our training facilities and give you a way to get out and explore the area attractions listed below. Have fun, OKC is really easy to navigate and get around. A rental car is really the best way to go.
- Shuttle Services: There are shuttle services for hire to and from the airport, the hotels do not offer complimentary shuttles due to the distance. These typically cost between $25 and $40 one way.
- Taxi Cabs: Taxis are available from the airport, though they are quite costly. Taxi service in the Norman area is minimal, so no guarantees of getting you where you need to be on time.
