Classes are held in Salt Lake City, Utah.  We have arranged the class to help you save money.  The class is held in the conference room of a hotel that has a free shuttle to and from the airport.  The hotel gives the people in the class a rate of $42 per night (about 1/2 the regular rate).  Click here to see the schedule of classes.
