Students will need a desktop PC with Windows technology, a modem and Internet access with a current web browser.

Cancellation Policy: Any cancellation received prior to the scheduled class will receive a full refund. Any received the week of the scheduled class will be subject to a $50.00 fee and any received after the scheduled class will forfeit entire fee.
