Online classes use the Zoom web conferencing platform.

You will receive log on codes to join live and recorded classes. 

Recordings for all courses will be available.  This is for the consumer that due to previous commitments or due to time zones may not be able to attend the course live.

The first time you click a link to a class you will be prompted to download the Zoom application installer. This software supports both Windows and Mac. After installing the application click the join class link again and you will be taken to the session.
