Training

Our classes are interactive covering the basics quickly then
moving on to the “really neat stuff”.

We cover the items listed in the class syllabus with equal time allocated for student’s questions which the instructor deems appropriate to that classes’ material. We strive to provide equal time for each students questions.

Scheduled classes are limited to 6 students but tend to run less than 4 students. For individual, focused, specific training and questions, we offer in-shop or at-home for One-to-One training.

Let us know if our schedule does not fit yours,
and we will try to shift things around to work for you.
