In my case, I took the seminar in Cebu office as I am from Davao City, and another reason is that they have daily schedule for Canada bound, so i have more chances to attend as it is limited to cater 12 persons daily on a first come first serve basis.
I booked a plane ticket from Cebu Pacific more than a month before my flight( paid only Php 1,129 back n forth as they had promo). I took 3 days off from work, and stayed in a hotel that I booked online(Sampaguita Suites Plaza Garcia) good thing its just a walking distance from CFO Office (few blocks away).
Nov.14, 2012, I went to CFO Office as early as 4:30 am just to make sure i'll be able to get a slot for the session. At around 7 am we are listed as participants and are given priority #. We left to have our breakfast and went back in the office at 8:00 am for registration.

I spent the whole day at CFO office to get my CFO Certificate. In the morning you will have to fill-up counselling form and your requirements be assessed by counsellors, had the film viewing about filipinos going abroad (the do's and dont's), and picture taking for the certificate.
In the afternoon time we went into a room and had a country specific group discussion, and counsellors will do a 1 on 1 interview for each participants later on..I got my certificate at around 6:00 pm and went back to hotel, prepared myself for my early flight next day.
