I have completed the ATCN training and I hightly recommend it. I loved it and learned so much! My certifcation is good for 5 years before I have to renew.

And just in case anyone was wondering, it was great!! And definitely worth driving out of town for! As far as tips, really don't have any...having had TNCC really helped with ATCN, though. But there were several who did fine who had not had TNCC.
