    The schedulers forgot to schedule the class and apparently the time was wrong on the class offering. Even if the class was scheduled, we would’ve been an hour late due to this error. From what we were told, this has happened before.

    Got there a bit early and was able to talk to both Jake and Vince. Vince did the class and answered my questions no matter how basic. I got lucky and got some hands on, don’t know if this always happens. Great overall experience and I actually learned something. Good intro, interested to take more classes.
