    Signing Up for your Next Level
    You can register for the next level at any time during your current term up until (and including) Class 8 as long as there is availability. There are registration forms in each class location (ask your instructor where). Registration can be mailed in to 216 Hanover Street, Boston, MA 02113 with a check or MasterCard or Visa number. You can also drop off your registration form at the theater (located at 216 Hanover Street) Tuesday – Friday from 1 pm – 6 pm. Registrations dropped at the theater can be done with cash, check or MasterCard or Visa. You can also register on-line or you can print out that form and fax it to us with your MasterCard or Visa number. Please be sure to indicate what level, section, day of week and time of day you are signing up for.

    It is beneficial to you to sign up for the next level of class prior to completion of the class that you are currently in. We require your payment in full upon registration. We make decisions based on the number of individuals in a class, so it is important to get your full payment in by the deadline. If you do not do so, you are not guaranteed a spot in the next level of classes. Sometimes there are individuals who return to the training center after taking a session or two off – as such, if you do not have your deposit in, the class may fill up and you would have to wait until the next session of classes to continue on. Also, we may have to cancel a class if we do not have enough students signed up – therefore, if you are planning on taking the next level of classes it is important to the whole class that you sign up and get your full payment in on time.

    If you sign up for the next level after your last class (and there is still availability) you will be charged a late fee of $25.

    Please note: A verbal commitment to attending the next level of classes is not enough to secure your spot, or to prohibit cancellation of a class. Only a payment secures a spot.




    REMINDER: All Training Center class will be meeting once a week for 2 1/2 hours. This will allow all Training Center students to take advantage of discounted parking at the Parcel Seven Garage (formerly the Sudbury Garage), 136 Blackstone Street. This is the newest garage in Haymarket. It is a red brick building directly above the T station (not the one at the bus station). This one is in the Farmer’s Market across from the Holocaust Memorial. The cost is $1.00 for up to 2 hours or $3.00 for 3 hours. A validation stamp will be made available to students regardless of their classroom location.
