Current Courses
Visit the specific course level pages for more info and to access the registration forms.
Each course is about 2 hours in duration. They are scheduled near full Moon phases to not take away from observing. Training materials are provided. The sessions are hands-on and delivered live and interactively by an instructor with lots of time for questions and answers. Class sizes are limited to maintain a good instructor-participant ratio. Courses fill up rapidly but we keep waiting lists.
NOTE: Currently all courses are delivered online using teleconferencing meeting software.
