There are four spots in each course. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis and does not become complete until a $500 deposit has been received. Your deposit is non-refundable unless you withdraw in enough time to allow another person to register in the same courses.
I will transfer your deposit if you register in a later course.
The main US course which I based the Canadian one on, both in Toronto and here, does not include the all-important practical component, which is called Bicycle Repair Practise. You are also not allowed to cook in the motel they recommend. And you have to commute. I have full cooking facilities. And the bike shop is steps from the residence front door. And yet, this course, held on beautiful Quadra Island, with bike trails starting from your front door, costs less than half the US course cost (translated into Canadian dollars).
