The most boring 4 or 8 hours you will ever spend. The idea of the class is fine but the 8 hour class could be taught in 2 or 3 hours and the 4 hour refresher course could be done in an hour.
take it online!
Sit in your pjs with a beer and take it for about $12 through AAA or AARP!!! Best way ever!!!!!
