I put 3-hour class, but it won't take that long you can leave when you want but I reserve the room for that long so that we don't get kicked out if I am still helping students finish and answering FAQs Q&A and sending students on their way confidant and prepared. the first hour is taken up by settling in checking everyone in the system, payments, and introductions. we need a core 2-hour class
