Our community classes are coming back.

Yes. The class, the training, and your certification card are completely free. The only thing we ask for is a $10 seat reservation, which is refunded to you when you attend. You're not paying for the class, you're just holding your seat.

When you register, you pay $10 to reserve one of 12 seats in the class. Think of it like a library hold, it tells us you're serious about coming so we can plan for exactly who's in the room. The moment you check in on class day, we refund it. Most students get it back the same day.

Same day. Once you're checked in at class, our team processes your refund before you leave. It goes back to the card you paid with.

We understand that life happens. But each class only has 12 seats, and when a seat goes unfilled, that's a spot someone else in the community couldn't use. Preparing for each student, materials, manikins, instructor time, takes real resources. So if you don't show up and don't cancel in advance, your $10 seat reservation becomes a donation that helps us keep offering these classes for free. We hope you'll join us next time.

Life comes up, we get it. If you cancel at least 48 hours before your class, you'll receive a full refund of your $10, no questions asked. Cancellations inside 48 hours can't be refunded, since it's too late to fill your seat. To cancel, reply to your confirmation email or contact us and we'll take care of it.

Yes. If you can't make it, you're welcome to transfer your seat to a friend, family member, or neighbor, just make sure they're at least 12 years old. Let us know their name ahead of time if you can, or they can check in under your reservation on class day.

Yes. Each class is limited to 12 students, so you'll need to reserve your seat online ahead of time. We can't guarantee space for walk-ins.

12. We keep classes small on purpose so every student gets real hands-on time with the equipment and personal attention from the instructor.
