Sometimes a great class is cancelled because people wait until the last minute to register.

Sign up early — at least ten days before the couse starts is ideal! If you change your mind, get busy at work, or your schedule changes, just give us a call at least five business days before the course starts, and we will be happy to give you a refund, less a $25 administrative fee.
