Register Now: Level I National Curriculum Class
This online Zoom series will focus on the skills and techniques of Level I of the ABANA National Curriculum. Zoom sessions will be held once a month from October 2024 through February 2025. All Zoom sessions will be recorded and made available to class participants (typically within a week) to review the material or catch up if you are not able to attend a session. Participants will be divided into groups with a certified instructor to receive small group coaching in between the Zoom sessions. Attend the Zoom sessions, take the information back to your shop to practice your forging techniques, and then share with your coaching group to get tips and feedback for next time!
