(full disclosure)   We offer various seminars and classes on the boards that we carry on rental stock.   I have no idea what the costs or schedules are, that's not my department.  My department is for the fixing of the broken things that got shorts or had a forklift stuck through them or fell off the truck or got dragged from one end of the state to the other hanging off the back of the trailer.  Plus normal wear and tear... and squirrel nest removal.
