SCHEDULING FORMAT
In order to offer you more flexibility in taking
the courses you want, we have changed our approach to scheduling. Instead of
requiring students to start on a certain date and continue for a given number of
weeks, you may now start most courses any week and finish at your own pace.
While we recognize the advantage of week to
week attendance, we also know that "things happen" to cause you to miss a class
or two. There will be no penalty for missing and you will be entitled to attend
the number of classes in your course in order to complete your project.
We are also geared up to offer
most of our courses during most of our class times
(exceptions are noted *). For example, our Introduction Course (3 Classes)
may be taken Monday's at 10 AM or 6 PM, Thursdays at 6PM
& Saturday at 9:30AM. Generally, when you register for a course you will
attend that same time and day for the course duration. Make ups and changes are
allowed based on our schedule.
We hope this flexibility is to your liking.
We still ask that you pre-pay your tuition when you register, and be reminded
that all students are expected to bring their tools to all classes. In most
classes students are also responsible for all materials used for their
projects. If you have any questions as to what materials are required, please
raise them prior to the first class or check out the class descriptions on our
web site.
So plan to register
for your favorite time slot featuring a class that you want to take. As always,
class sizes are limited so give us a call today. Scroll down for all class
descriptions.
