Schedule

Due to a shortage of instructors we will not be offering classes during the Spring 2008 semester.
If you need training on one of regularly scheduled topics, please review our documentation or browse some of our other tutorials for your topic of interest. If you and several of your friends are interested in a particular topic we will consider custom classes, but only for groups of 6 or more.

We apologize for any inconvenience and we hope to return to a regular schedule in the Fall of 2008. Please check back. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email us or leave feedback. Thank you.
