LT,

Our new instructor here in Rusk is requiring deposits and he's had 75% attendance in his 2 classes so far. In fact, Austin has raised his rates and people are still signing up from as far as Tyler, Lufkin and Longview. The 'no-shows' are pre-booked into the next class.

No deposit no comittment sends a message both directions. Your and Mrs. LT's time, travel and efforts should not be free.

Best wishes.

Sorry to hear about your class. Sometimes things come up. I hope that they had the good manners to call and to let you know they wouldn't be showing up. If not, that is why some instructors insist on a non-refundable deposit.

A deposit is a comittment. If something comes up to cause the applicant to miss the scheduled class, they are prepaid and first on the list for the next class.

Get the money up front (at least half of it).
