USCG Approved
Course Schedule
All approved classes are limited to a maximum of six students and I will never
cancel a class due to low enrollment, in fact I am happy to hold a class for a
single student. Because of this small class size they tend to fill early and it is
highly recommended that you register at least 30 days in advance; 60 days is
recommended for classes scheduled December through April.

Please call (503) 841-6066 and ask for Pat to register for a class.
