The Service Class will be held 6-7 June 2017 and the Maintenance Class will be held 8-9 June 2017. The classes are taught by Dean Vogel from Lockwood Aviation. http://training.lockwood.aero/

Just a little bump for clarification, registration is open until the classes actually start (06 June: Service class, and 08 June: Maintenance class).

However, we need a minimum of six students enrolled 30 days prior in order to hold the classes.

I hope that makes sense.

Hi folks! Still have seats to fill. I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion or inquiries regarding the class.

Any ideas why?

People like pictures. Here's Dean in the classroom from a previous year here at Blue Ridge Community College. Get the same course content and quality instruction minus Florida's June heat, humidity, and mosquitoes.

It was brought to my attention this morning that the class will also cover information on the 914.

We have met our minimum required number of students to hold the classes and it's a go!
I have received feedback that the online registration process is very frustrating. I spoke with the enrollment desk personnel and made them aware that I am going to recommend people register via phone. I'll post the link below where you can download the forms and also FAX or mail your applications.

Registration is open until the day before classes start.

Everyone have a safe and enjoyable weekend!

Enrollment really took off last week and we have 22 of 28 seats filled. Still time to enroll by calling 540-453-2215.

We ended up filling 27 of 28 seats between the two classes. Many thanks to those folks who attended and to the others that helped spread the word.

Next year's classes are tentatively scheduled:
- Service Class: 5-6 June
- Maintenance Class: 7-8 June

Details to follow...

Updated information for the 2018 classes.

We are still looking for people to meet our minimum enrollment numbers:
- Four more in Service class
- Five more in Maintenance

If we don't meet our numbers by 4 May 2018, we'll have to cancel.

Feel free to contact us for any questions.

Looks like I'll have to amend the deadline and move it up to the 2nd of May, vice the 4th. That gives everyone three days to wear their significant other down to see the benefits of taking this course!
