Scheduling for our classes is extremely flexible! There are NO set schedules. We have classes available several times per day, up to seven days per week. You are free to attend the classes that work with your life, and you do not have to sign up for the individual classes prior to attending. If you’re in town and have a couple of hours, drop in and take a class. If a class isn’t in session, log a few hours of practice time into our mock bar- those count as class hours towards your mandatory 40 hours for your license! With our class availability, you can obtain your licensing in as little as two weeks if you put your mind to it!
