Register Early - Space is limited.
This School is offered only once per year. So if you're on the fence about it, just beware that you may have to stay on that fence for at least another year.

Please come prepared to take lots of notes in addition to the textbook you'll receive. I will lecture for an hour and a half each class and the last 30 minutes will be question and answers.

We'll do our classroom lessons for 2 hours each day in the lovely and well-appointed conference rooms at Office This on East Harry St in the old Wichita Mall complex. Please be prepared to be in the classroom and ready to go at 6:00 each Tuesday. We've got a lot of material to cover and we'll need every minute we can get in the classroom.
