Levels

Level Uncertainty

If you are having trouble figuring out which level of class to take, here’s a quick guide!

  1. Register for either level 1 or level 2 on the day you intend (choose the one you think will suffice). We can switch you later if needed
  2. Come to BOTH classes on the first day, or, both levels on two different days
  3. Before class, tell your instructors that you’re figuring out which class to take, and to have them recommend something to you after class
  4. After class, chat with them about what they recommend
  5. Update our admin person with the verdict, and we will adjust your records accordingly
