While they can roster up to 8 attendees, maybe due to the weekend this was on, ended up being a smaller class which was perfect. More 1on1 training for those who really needed it and we definitely had one in the group. Liz is a great instructor. Has the background needed as a licensed NRA instructor, has seen the bad things happen so gives the instruction on what not to do and gives the right advice for getting you on target. She will watch were your shots are hitting and know exactly what adjustments you need. I had some background in firearms already but this was still the perfect course for getting back to basics, doing all the nitty gritty and getting a feel for a variety of different handguns plus learning this range specifically including their safety rules. Not only do you get a good foundation from them on which to grow, you can sign up for their additional courses if interested and you get your certification to apply for your CHL. Well worth the money spent.

It's those moments that are absolute gold. Very professional, very well done. The instructor is incredibly knowledgeable. This is only the beginning. Will be taking many more classes with them. *Update: Most recently took the Simunition class. Real world scenarios, real bad guys, real guns, real adrenaline & non lethal ammunition. You don't get second chances in life. This is it. This is your chance to learn from your mistakes and get a do-over. Definitely worth the investment. *Update 2: Now taking Krav Maga. The instructor is excellent. Demonstrating and critiquing with knowledge and respect. I highly recommend to anyone male or female, young or old.

If you are thinking about traveling to attend United Bicycle Institute, pause and seriously…read morereconsider. Many students come from out of state and spend real money on flights, lodging, food, and time away from work. Based on my experience, this program is NOT worth that investment. I would NOT recommend spending your time or money here. The learning environment did not feel professional or inclusive. I experienced repeated dismissive behavior from an instructor, Peter Branson, including being addressed in ways I had clearly asked him not to use. I felt singled out and criticized rather than supported as a student. When I raised these concerns with management, the response minimized the issue instead of taking it seriously. If you are LGBTQIA + or simply want a respectful, psychologically safe place to learn, this is NOT it. The instruction quality also did not justify the cost. - Much of the class time involved reading manuals independently with limited structured teaching. - Instructors frequently focused on servicing private clients' bikes rather than actively coaching students. For the tuition and certification fees being charged, I expected far more hands on training, guidance, and accountability. Overall, this felt like an expensive and disappointing experience. There are better, more welcoming, and more practical ways to learn bike mechanics. Save your travel costs and choose a program that truly values students and provides real instruction.

I took the 2 week professional course and loved it. The curriculum has been refined for 30…read moresomething years, and you can tell. From 8-5 M-F for two weeks, you talk about a subject and then you get to do the associated "hands-on" activity (ie taking apart a hub, then putting it back together), usually with your daily bench partner (changes each day). By the end, you've covered most parts of the most common types of bikes. And, you get to take a 5-lb textbook home, so you can reference the "how-to" section later. I didn't take this class to get a job in the bike industry; I am more of a home mechanic who felt confused and overwhelmed with a million questions, and now I feel satiated. I can better judge whether a Craigslist part might work on my bike, I could take care of a lot of during-ride mechanicals or at least know where to start, and I can overhaul my own bike. There were three teachers; usually one lectured and then all three would walk around during the hands on practice session to answer questions, correct us, and sign off on our work. This was very satisfying after having spent many hours in bike kitchens or similar where there aren't enough people to answer or explain. Here, they really *want* to answer your question and will give you a lengthy explanation. They were all patient, kind, encouraging and knowledgeable people who both knew not only bikes but how to teach. Everything is open-book and basically everything done is for the point of learning and getting better, not competitively. If regular school were more like Bike School, the world would be a better place! Access info: - Spring was a great time to come. If you are sensitive to wildfire smoke, I hear most summers are (now) smokey. - 10-min breaks more or less every hour, and a 1 hour lunch in the middle of the day - They ask for pronouns at the beginning with your name. I can't say most people minded them, but if reminded to I believe they would. - The ratio of men to non-men is very high, and sometimes as bench partners the men may not share the work enough or explain things when you don't want them to. Let this be a warning, or, something to be mindful of. - If you want to ride in town while there (cheaply), you can go to Get-N-Gear and buy one (it may be crappy) and then often sell it back to them at the end - tip from the owner! - It really helped me to read the relevant chapter(s) before the class, so that I would have more context. Highly recommend for those who may not have a lot of experience. - If you are not super fast, you will probably have to stay for the late nights at least one time to finish building your wheels, so schedule around that - You will be very tired at the end of the day and end of the week; I considered camping and am glad I did not. - There is a pass-fail test on a computer at the end; bring your own computer to Ashland if that helps you do testing better as they'll let you take it on yours (as of this date). If you have some sort of recorded disability, it's not an easy test; consider talking to them if you need accommodations.

It was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed getting to know more about our local resources, preservation, and revitalization. I learned about the importance of our native pollinators, natural ecosystems, and how people are involved in making our community better. This event was easy to attend because it had all the information ie. Date, time, address, and a reminder email including expectations and details at hand. It was also very affordable, with the proceeds being donated to a local cause. Thank you.
