This is the order of progression of our classes. Testing is done anytime during the 6 or 8 week sessions. If the instructor feels a student is ready to move on, then the test will be given. Each student will receive a badge for their completed skill level. If you miss a scheduled lesson, you may make it up on another Monday or Saturday class.
