During this call, the instructor will inform you of the relevant details for the class, i.e.: schedule, location of the training site, and more.
Courses are normally held on the weekends (Saturday and/or Sunday) and take approximately half a day or four hours to complete. We recommend bringing a lunch, lots to drink and all Quad safety gear required.
