Water Pumping with Renewable Energy:
NOTE on prerequisites: These classes are required so that we can keep the level of our instruction high, and not have to cover the basics over and over. You can take them in the days preceding the class requiring them, at any other time from us, or submit your experience in similar classes offered by other companies, or verifiable professional experience with the subject matter. Please contact us if you have questions!
NOTE: Our class registration policies have changed for 2013. To register, students will be required to pay a deposit to reserve their spot in the class, and the remainder is due in full 15 to 30 days before the start of class (see individual class details for dates). If the class is canceled due to insufficient registration, your deposit will be refunded in full. If you must cancel and not attend, your deposit is NOT refundable; however it can be transferred in full to any of our other classes during the year.
