    So I just completed their 3 hour free introduction course. Here's some feedback for the school:…read more Pro-tip #1: Don't act all annoyed when a prospective student who comes out to kick the tires asks if the follow-up paid course has any sort of satisfaction guarantee. A simple yes or no would suffice. Pro-tip #2: Don't hem and haw when a prospective student asks how much follow-on training might cost and force said prospective student to dig in and continue to ask. The answer to this BTW appears to be a minimum of $1000.00 for every day of training for a 7 day course. Apparently the next follow up course for $149.00 does not really provide any skills - just further background, refreshments and lunch and more opportunity to sell courses. Of course if they stuck all this up front they would get much fewer curiosity seekers. My very basic question today before having information about the ACTUAL courses was would I have enough information and possible skill and tools to be able to start investing after taking the next follow on course for $149.00. Initially the answer was yes but that quickly turned into a no when pressed. You are basically paying for an two way interview. Oh and I FINALLY gleaned that there were no real tools like simulator platforms to practice etc just materials. So I left with the glaring question of why are they worth $1000 a day and why that other course is worth $149 other than the repeated mantra that I'd we were disciplined and followed their rules we would not lose all our money. Mind you they kept pushing futures and margins and options which are all risky ventures even for very seasoned and experienced investors. Hilariously, this instructor stated that if you followed their system it was NOT gambling even though he also stated that it was like a craps table because the best bets were for the house against the dice thrower as those odds were better. And if course the response that this was not gambling because of their systems and the research. Helloooooo. Past performance is not and indicator of future performance and when no one can state with certainty an outcome it's still called gambling. Verbal semantics to sell.

    This is the best place to go if you want to learn how to secure your financial future. The classes…read moreare paced for everyone and if you don't understand something the instructor will review again AND offer you extra time to come in to make sure you understand. I am also able to contact my advisor whenever I need to and I am able to send her trades for review. That's extremely helpful to solidify what's learned and make sure you have it right. And EVERYBODY at the center is extremely helpful and patient. I go in every chance I get to practice and learn.

    A friend and I signed up for Jessie's Hand Embroidered Felt Holiday Ornaments class on a Saturday,…read moreand it was SO fun. We can't wait to be back. The 2 hours whizzed by, and Jessie was really friendly and great and giving and showing instructions. She was also very patient with students' questions. The ornaments ended up being so cute from everyone, we were all thoroughly impressed by everyone's work. A lot of us, including me, didn't finish the entire project during class, so we got to take home the supplies we'd need to finish at home. Jessie made sure we had the supplies and knowledge/skills so that we'd succeed at home with finishing up. The studio is nice and cozy, there were about 16 participants of mixed genders and ages. It was really fun, and we can't wait to try more classes!

    I recently took a goat milk soap making class here and overall had an enjoyable experience. The…read moreinstructor was very knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind, which made the class welcoming and easy to follow. That said, there were a few organizational issues that took away from the experience. The class started late because the instructor chose to wait and see if more people would trickle in, which felt disrespectful to those of us who arrived on time. I also wish there had been clearer communication beforehand about supplies. We weren't told that we could bring our own molds, and the only molds provided were small condiment containers, which resulted in some pretty awkward and unattractive soap shapes. Better molds or advance notice would have made a big difference. It also would have been helpful if instructions or an overview of the process had been emailed ahead of time or posted on the class listing so participants knew what to expect. Additionally, a few of the soap mix-ins were unavailable. This wasn't a major issue, but it did add to the impression that the class was a bit underprepared. Overall, I still enjoyed the class and learned a lot, thanks largely to the instructor's expertise and friendliness. With better preparation and clearer communication for students, this could easily be a great experience rather than just a good one.

    I've always gotten a kick out of receiving the town's bi-yearly adult ed brochure, and reading…read moreabout the different classes offered (a two week course on "How to Turn on a Computer," "Basic Coastal Navigation," "Gum Paste Flower Bouquets," and let's not forget "The Enneagram & You"...). But until recently, scheduling conflicts always prevented me from enrolling. Luckily, that changed last month, when my husband, brother, and sister-in-law signed up for a Vietnamese spring roll class taught by Kevin Nguyen, the owner of Pho 75 in Windsor Locks. New to the adult ed "scene," we weren't sure what to expect when we pulled up to our local high school. The class was taught in a home ec room, and we were joined by fifteen or so other people, varying in age from teenage to senior citizen. Kevin provided a recipe-- and of course, all of the ingredients-- then demonstrated the process. He was engaging and friendly as he demystified seemingly complicated techniques, and we really enjoyed the two-hour class. We each made between four and six spring rolls (which were delicious, by the way), and it was well worth the low $22 fee. We've since made spring rolls at home, and are so glad to have learned how to do it! I would encourage anyone-- you don't even have to be a Windsor Locks resident, although they do receive priority-- to check out the town's (or your town's) adult ed offerings. Classes are usually fairly inexpensive, and hey, it'll keep you off the streets. ;)
