Our classes have been infrequent lately, in fact we recently went 5 months without offering any classes.  

We currently have a class on December 5th and 6th, 2009.  The December class is the only one being offered at this time.  For information about the class on December visit the log home class sign up page.  We have a very easy online enrollment process. 

People on our email notification list received priority sign up for the December class.  Now that the registration is open to anyone there is less than 5 spots available.

To keep yourself informed about future classes you should sign up for our free automatic email notification service.

Our instructors are often busy with Association related projects, or personal projects, and that means we just squeeze in a class when we can. 

Classes can be a bit sporadic.  At one point we had no classes for a 5 year period.

When we do have a class we usually post it on our main page with about a months notice.  Our classes tends to fill up very quickly, sometimes they sell out in one week, so keep an eye open for when we post the next class.

You can view our class schedule to see all the class dates we're currently offering in 2009. 

You can also sign up for our automated 'new class announcement email service.'  If you sign up for that service, then you will automatically be notified via email when we schedule a new class.

After attending our log home building class many students emails us, and tell us what they thought about the experience. 

We have posted a small sampling of these unsolicitated emails.  In their own words, our past students will tell you if they liked the class, if they thought the instructors good, if the information they received was useful and valuable, et cetera.   

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of testimonials posted here, which is just a small fraction of what we have in our archive.

• October 10th and 11th 2009.  We're having a class in Las Vegas, at the Flamingo casino.  Take advantage of the 3-day weekend, and the low airfare & hotel costs of Vegas.  Visit our sign up page for more information. 

If you're attending our class at the Wallace Falls Lodge, then there is a class information page that you will want to read. 

That page has important information, such as: driving directions, hotel recommendations and contact information, a list of what to bring,  car rental information, an explanation of what to expect for the weekend, travel and airport information, et cetera.

We often get asked, "Should I bring my significant other to class with me?" 

Usually it is a husband asking that question about his wife.  Sometimes it is a woman asking that question about her husband, because women build log homes too!

In either case, they want to know if it makes sense for both to attend the class.
 
We generally encourage people to bring their significant other with them to the class.  It really makes the planning process and building process go smoother if both halves of a couple have the same knowledge base and understanding. 

Because we think it is important to bring the wife or husband with you to class, we offer a $100 discount per person for couples (and groups of 2 or more).

The following are forum threads where former students talk about how worthwhile it is to bring your wife or husband with you to class:

Please note that our instructors in America are also log home builders. Since we are in the building season it is very difficult for them to make time for teaching classes, and we will probably not be adding more class dates this year.  

We often get asked the following sort of questions:

• "Are you guys for real?"
• "Can I really learn how to build a log home in just a 2-day class?"
• "Is this 'butt and pass' method any good?"
• "What will the class actually cover?"
• "Can I really build a log home?"

Well, here are a few threads on our forum where people posted those kind of questions, and many of our past students chimed in with answers.  You might want to explore the links below:

If you would like to receive an e-mail alert when we schedule a new log home building class, submit your e-mail address below. We'll send out a brief note when we schedule a new class, so you'll be the first to know. Sometimes we don't offer classes for a while, and when there is a class available it fills up very fast.

We will also send an alert if there is a "last minute" availability in a class that previously filled up. However, this type of alert is extremely rare.

Privacy policy, short version: We do not sell, rent, or trade your e-mail address with anyone. You can also read our full privacy policy here.

It is not possible to 'buy a seat' in one of our classes.  One must be a member of the Association in order to attend a class.  The class is free with your lifetime membership fee.  

At this time the cost of a lifetime membership is $795.  There are never any additional dues or fees.  You never have to buy anything else from the Association.

There's a group discount available for groups of two or more people, and that is $100 off per person.  That drops the membership fee down to $695 per person.  The discount will be automatically tabulated when you make your online payment, so long as everyones fee is paid for at the same time (on the same credit card).

Just wait till we offer a class on a date that works for you, and then use our online system to reserve a seat and pay for your membership.

Just what exactly is a "membership" in the Association?
