NCDD Seminars and Sessions

SOLD OUT

August 20, 2020 - August 22, 2020

This three day program will be held August 20-22, 2020 in Denver, CO. If you have not yet taken the NHTSA Student Course you are cheating yourself. This course is a must for anyone defending accused impaired drivers.

Due to the nature of the course, class size must be kept small. So if you are considering coming to the SFST Course in Denver, now is the time to sign up.

Registration fees are $650 for NCDD Members and $750 for Non-Members. Non-Members: this would be a great time for you to become a member and save on your registration fee. Register today to reserve your spot!

CDC recommendations and "stay in place" orders are being closely monitored. Registration fees will be fully refunded if cancellation becomes necessary.

The course will be held at the Hyatt Place Denver Cherry Creek. Our room rate is $149/night. You can make your hotel reservations by calling the hotel directly 888-591-1234. Be sure to mention that you are with the National College for DUI Defense to take advantage of our discounted room rate.
