Clearance Classes
Many of our workshop areas require prerequisite clearance classes for use.
Do I have to take training classes if I already know how to use the tools?
Unless you have extensive experience using a particular tool, you will still be required to take clearance classes in order to use that tool or workshop area.
If you do have extensive experience, you may be credited a clearance (at a reduced fee) only after a review of our policies.
Please Note: Some of our skill-building classes require a workshop clearance prior to enrolling in the class. If there is a prerequisite class, it will always be stated in the class description.
