Is this the right class/environment for me?
This class is unlike any other you've attended. It's not dry, it's not boring. Our trainers are irreverent and do their best to make your time in the classroom not only educational, but entertaining. If you're looking for instructors in three-piece suits, or tweed blazers with suede elbow patches, this isn't the right class for you. We have contests with giveaways, riddles, and other fun diversions to help keep you energized throughout the day.
Plan to arrive with a lot of questions and an open mind; our daily round table discussions are sure to get your blood flowing!
