arsenius said:I used to live in Illinois and was thinking about going to this school also. I probably would have but I moved away too soon. I wasn't concerned about starting with the first class, because it said the classes were not "beginner, intermediate, and advanced." I figured since there was so much personal instruction it would probably be fine.
I don't think it's entirely fair to concentrate on the "$1800 for 3 classes" point. They can't force you to take all 3 classes. If you weren't satisfied with the first one ($600), you certainly don't have to take two more. Not that it doesn't suck to lose $600, but it's better than losing $1800!!!
However, after reading your post I went to their website again, and checked out the prices again. This point really bothered me:
That seems ridiculous to me, and may have really turned me off to this school if and when I return closer to home.
nyjoe, you might get better answers on this particular school if you mention its name in the title of the thread.
I think this is a valid point, but will add that if you go to the school and after the first couple of hours think it's not for you, you should be refunded your money period. Scott Lee told me that if I didn't like where we were going after the first hour we would shake hands and say good bye.
But to pay and think it's crap, no way. And if it's worth it they would do well offering that guantie.

PS I would really think about thaking BlackJack up on that, I might...
