HUGHES PROPRIETARY
1.0 TECHNICAL TRAINING OVERVIEW
All Hughes technical training courses take place at our Shady Grove Facility (SGZ) located at
16060 Industrial Drive in Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20877 U.S.A.
On the morning that your class is scheduled to begin, check in at the reception desk at the Shady Grove
Facility by 8:45 a.m. to obtain a student ID badge and receive directions to the correct classroom for your
training course. Class hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you need to contact someone, you may call
our registrar, Debbie Fox, at 301-601-7204. To reach anyone at Hughes, use the main number 301-428-
5500 when you’ll have options to dial-by-extension or dial-by-name.
A student lounge equipped with WiFi Internet access and telephones are provided so that students can
relax during their breaks. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase. In addition, there are many local
restaurants and grocery stores nearby. While there are a few points of interest within walking distance of
the training facility, most can only be accessed by driving. We therefore encourage you to rent a car
during your stay in Maryland. If you have any other special needs while at the site, our support staff will
be on hand to assist you.
We look forward to providing you with world-class training at our state-of-the-art teaching facility.
