This class is provided to the public for free with funding from 2016 Measure B courtesy of VTA . While free to participants, it costs about $150/person signed up to conduct this course so if you signup make sure you show up -- otherwise this taxpayer money is wasted and cannot be recovered.

We also have a waitlist enabled for this course.
