Q&A
Q: Can I make up a class if I miss one?
A: No. There are no makeups allowed. You might be able to informally meet with the instructor but it would be up to the instructor. The school is very flexible with scheduling and attendance for our Beginning Knitting and Beginning Crochet courses; however, for intermediate level courses, they ask students commit to attending the scheduled sessions.
Q: Is a certificate of completion available to me after completing their class?
A: Yes
Q: Is a professional certificate available to me after completing their class?
A: No
Q: Can I take home what I make in this class?
A: Yes
Q: Is this class hands on?
A: Yes
Q: Is there anything else I should be aware of to be prepared for class?
A: Some students like to have a pen and notebook available to take notes, but it is up to you. Any other materials they might need can be purchased at the school's store. There is also a convenience store next to the shop if students would like to have a beverage during class.
