Frequently Asked Questions—FAQ

  • How much do classes cost?
    All classes and instruction are FREE.

  • How many people are in each class?
    On average, there are 15 - 20 students in each class.


  • Do I have to take tests?
    Every student is tested when they start class and again from time to time. These tests are not pass or fail.  You do not have to study for the tests.  The tests are to measure your progress as you study.


  • How many hours per week do I have to attend class?
    Most students attend class at least five hours a week. We encourage students to attend more frequently, depending on their schedule. The more students attend, the more they learn!   All students should plan to attend for at least 50 hours during their enrollment. Many choose to attend for more than 50 hours during their enrollment. Regular attendance at class is important and is required.


  • Do I have to buy textbooks or class materials?
    You do not need to purchase textbooks or other materials. Some students decide to purchase a copy of the textbook for their own use, but it is not required.
