How soon should I register for a course?

Registrations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. You may register for a course any time up until the day of the course. It is recommended that you register for the course as soon as possible up to a minimum of three days before the course is scheduled to take place. If you register early you will have a better chance of getting a seat. Please note, if there are not enough registrations for a course it may have to cancelled.

What is your policy if you cancel the course?

Sometimes it is necessary for us to cancel a course. Reasons for this may be low registration or instructor conflict. In the event that your course is cancelled you will be given a full refund. You can also have us keep your credit on file so that you may take another course in the future.
