At the end of the course session, pourers receive a 10% tuition reimbursement for each of the classes they assisted with. Please inquire about availability when registering.

Tuition is non-refundable. Should you need to drop a course, you are entitled to re-enroll in a future session—beginning where you left off—within one calendar year of the start date of the original session.
