Duration
Recognizing that real life plays a major roll in everyday living, we have developed this course with two choices to accommodate all of our needs. The course is offered as a full day program and is also broken in two for those juggling multiple schedules.
The full day program has the theory component in the morning and then the practical component on the water in the afternoon.
The split program will have the theory portion as an evening session and the practical portion during the weekend. The first evening portion is theory and held indoors. The second component is practical and the application will be held on the water. This second portion is a half day. Pack a lunch.
Location
These evening classes will be held at our store location in Country Club Mall.
