How to Get to Hyatt Centric Buckhead Atlanta

Are you traveling to Hyatt Centric Buckhead Atlanta from outside the state? If so, you’ll most likely fly to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The good news: the hotel is under 20 miles away from the airport.

Here's how to reach Hyatt Centric Buckhead Atlanta from the airport.

From Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

If driving isn't on the agenda, a one-way taxi fare will set you back approximately $40. You can also use Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA).

If you decide to rent a vehicle, follow these driving directions when exiting the airport's Domestic Terminal:

• Out of the Domestic Terminal, get onto Interstate 85 North
• Continue on the I-85 North to Atlanta before exiting onto Georgia State Route 400 North
• Take exit 2 for Lenox Road toward Buckhead
• Take a right turn onto Lenox Road NE
• Turn right onto Lenox Square Parkway NE. The Hyatt Centric Buckhead Atlanta is on your right

Getting around Atlanta

While you might enjoy the freedom of getting around by yourself in a car, the aforementioned MARTA system is a recommended alternative. It is a quick and easy option that costs as little as $2.50 for a single trip, and you can load up a MARTA Breeze card with as many trips or day passes as you need. These trains run until 1:00 am on weekends.

Atlanta places a heavy emphasis on public transport, which means getting around by train, bus, and streetcar is convenient and affordable. The streetcar makes a 2.7-mile loop, stopping at 12 different spots along the way, and offers direct connections to other services such as MARTA. They run every 10-15 minutes on average between 6:00 am to 11:00 pm Monday to Thursday, and 8:30 am till 1:00 am on Saturdays. You can see their timetable on their website, but you should find it easy to get around using this mode of transport. Prices range from $1 to $3.

The host hotel also has centric bikes and electric golf carts to rent upon request.

If you would still prefer to rent a car during your stay than rely on public transport, then there are several car companies on offer that are located nearby:

Workshop Prerequisites

Before you can become certified in administering Botox® injections and acquire your 8-hour AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, you must complete all necessary prerequisite instructional materials. Furthermore, before the in-person portion of your training, you must successfully pass a knowledge-based test.

All pre-course materials and supplements are on EMT's state-of-the-art online portal. These materials cover important topics such as in-depth protocols and complication avoidance. For added convenience, videos also make up the prerequisite materials. Engaging, professionally shot, and viewable on all suitable devices, these videos offer an effective method to amplify your learning.

Is your schedule not flexible enough to complete the entire training weekend in person? An alternative route is to complete the training's didactic requirements via our live virtual program. You can then attend a future Atlanta hands-on course for a day, allowing you to gain your Botox and dermal filler certifications.

Color Training Manual & Videos

The EMT educational portal features a comprehensive color training manual that you need to review in full, along with videos. These supplements deliver essential information about Botox treatments, including:

• The patient consultation process. This includes communicating the expected results of Botox treatments accurately, producing facial/head/neck markings, and injection/treatment techniques that align with patient goals
• Key characteristics and handling (including dilution, reconstitution, and storage) of botulinum toxin Type-A products
• Important facial anatomy concepts, including zones of adherence, facial contraindications, and correcting complications and adverse events

The color training manual also covers numerous Botox treatment types, highlighting dosage amounts, treatment indications, safe injection techniques, and more. These treatments include:

• Forehead lines
• Platysma banding
• Gummy smile
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive palms and underarms sweating)
• Glabellar complex area
• Marionette lines
• Migraine
• Lateral canthal rhytids
• Medial and lateral brow (lift)

Additional Aesthetic Procedures and Advanced Injection Techniques

Those who participate in the full weekend training will broaden their cosmetic treatment repertoire. As well as our two main courses, Complete Botox® Training and Dermal Filler, they will gain practical experience and knowledge performing additional aesthetic procedures – including advanced injection techniques. Once you sign up for the Atlanta training course, you also receive complimentary access to EMT's entire library of Botox materials.

All three workshops that make up our program were created to match the policies and accreditation demands assigned by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. We have also partnered with Medical Education Resources, an outlet committed to cultivating the next aesthetics practitioners, who provide our Atlanta program with the maximum 8.0 AMA PRA Category I Credits™. Note: You should only claim these credits upon completing the hands-on training class.

The MER, via its association with the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation, is also accredited to deliver continued nursing education. By completing our course successfully, 8.0 contact hours can be added to your continued nursing education.
