Where are the classes held??
Unless other arrangements are made,
the final exam and lecture and field test is held at the Trap Range and Club House at WCGC.
You can do the online portion anywhere you have internet access.
??Why would anyone bother with the online class???
The online class IS more work.
And the final test is significantly more difficult.
The online class is NOT the better choice for everyone.
But, you get to do the work at your own pace and on your own time.
You don't need to adhere to the rigid schedule and class times of the regular class.
We can be more accommodating in scheduling the final lecture and exam.
The classes are much more limited in size and are ideal for those with special needs or a family that wants to study and take the class together.
