What are class credits?
With class credits, you can take classes that are outside of your membership level. For example, if you are an Academy-level student and want to take a Premier-level class, you can use (1) class credit to take the class. Class credits can be purchased here.
How can I attend the class if I do not have the correct membership level?
You can attend any class, regardless of your membership level, by purchasing class credits. Then, use your credits for the classes you want to attend. Each class = 1 credit.
Can I use class credits to attend coaching?

Can I get a refund for class credits?

Do I get access to both the live class and replay when I use a class credit?

Do I need to register for an event?
No. You do not need to register for an event. However, registration guarantees you a slot. We allow 10 students to register for each event to lock-in their slot. Registration is also handy if you can not attend the event live.
If I don't register, does this mean I won't get any feedback?
Not necessarily. Depending on how many event registrations an event has, the teacher may have time to answer questions from event attendees who have not registered. This will be time dependent.
Do I need to attend coaching live in order to get feedback on my playing or answer my questions?
No, however you must register for the event. When registering, you'll see the option to choose if you will be attending the event live or not.
