Question from Dalexis P.
What's the difference between the longer class and the shorter class? I get it's longer but what else I know it sounds like a silly question
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! The “time” in class is the real difference. 6 hours with the instructor and the model rather than 3 hours. Hope this helps!
