If you already know what you want to build and you just want to learn how to use the tools you need safely (or if you just want a refresher), Tool Training sessions are for you.
Classes are kept small so each student get a lot of personal attention, and each training session is themed for a certain set of tools – just take the sessions you need to get going.
If you already have training on this equipment and just need to be checked off to use it, ask about a testing session. Testing is also required for those who have completed the training class, before they can use the equipment unsupervised.
