Yes, our courses are laid out in the order that Global/BSB offers them. We have found this is the best way for the students to take their courses. With this order of curriculum, the students meet their goals in an orderly and timely fashion.

Presently we will offer identical classes in Tampa, Riverview and Bushnell. Students may take courses at any of the locations. If personal schedule conflicts prevent you from attending a course near you, you may go to the other location and take the course there. However, we would need to know in advance where you plan to take the course.

The Tampa and Bushnell classes will be offered on Tuesday nights and the Riverview classes will be offered on Thursday nights.

The school year will roughly follow the traditional school system. We start the last week of July and go through May of the following year. Classes will not be held during the summer. For exact dates & times please check out our
