REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION INFORMATION

HOW EARLY SHOULD I REGISTER FOR CLASS?
EARLY! We have a class limit of 6 students per class and our classes can fill quickly. We recommend you register as soon as possible to get your class of choice. Cancellations do happen, and you may be able to get into a class at the last minute, so don’t hesitate to email to check on availability.  We try to keep at least a 3-month class schedule on the website at all times.

To apply to attend a class click on the School of Blacksmithing link above.  Review the class schedule and click the link to fill out the class application.

CLASS APPLICATION PROCESS:
Age Requirements:
Only those 18 years old or older may complete an online class application form. An application must be filled out for each class you wish to take and you must be at least 18 y/o to fill out an application.

Once you submit an online application, I will contact you by email to verify your acceptance into the class.  If you do not receive an email within three days please get in touch!  Please add my email address "jim@jeepsforge.com" to your email program to make sure you're able to receive an email from me.  Be sure to check your spam folder.

About 1 week prior to the class, I will send an email out explaining the specifics of the class, layout of the day(s), what to bring, what to wear and where to park.

CAN STUDENTS UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE TAKE A CLASS:
**YES, Interested students under 18 years of age can take blacksmithing classes with a Supervising Adult (Required) also taking the same class. For each under age student, there must be a supervising adult taking the class. Please contact Jeep’s Forge for additional information regarding under age students. The online application has a box to check if an under age student will also be attending.
• I will then contact the supervising adult to obtain the information for the person under 18 years of age.
• The supervising adult must submit an application with their information and check the box indicating they that they will bring someone under the age of 18.

PAYING FOR A CLASS:
ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF PAYMENT:
I prefer cash, however I will accept a check or credit/debit card through my website.  Please be aware that a card processing fee is added when paying by debit card or credit card.  Checks will be accepted on the day of class or by mail prior to class.  If mailing a check for someone else to take a class, please be sure to write the students name in the memo field.

CLASS DEPOSIT/CANCELLATION POLICY:
Due to the fact that we have had several student no-shows without contacting us prior to class, we are instituting a deposit of $50.00/person /class. The deposit will be deducted from the total cost of the class. The deposit can be paid by mailed check or online through the website. If you must miss a scheduled class that you are signed up for, PLEASE contact us as early as possible if you need to cancel out from the class. By contacting us your deposit will be used toward the next class you sign up to take. IF YOU FAIL TO CONTACT us and don’t show, your deposit will be forfeited.
The deposit must be received in-order to
reserve your place in class.

COST OF CLASSES:
One day: $150 ($155 credit/debit card/PayPal) + material fee
Two days: $225 ($232 credit/debit card/PayPal) + material fee

GIFT CERTIFICATES:
You may purchase a gift certificate to give someone for a future class.  There are several ways to purchase a gift certificate:

1. Contact us by email at jim@jeepsforge.com or phone @ 704-213-1097 and let us know you want to purchase a gift certificate. Once payment is received via website payment, mailed check or in person, a gift certificate will be sent to your address or handed to you.

2. For a person 18 years old or older, you can also complete an online class application using the recipient's information (include as much information as you can.)

Next, you can pre-pay for the class by submitting payment by credit/debit card via webpage, or by sending a check.  You must communicate with me so I can match your payment with the registration. A GIFT CERTIFICATE can also be sent to you via USPS or you can pick up the gift certificate in person to hand deliver it to the individual.

MATERIAL FEES:
The material fee for a given class will be shown along with the date of the class ("Blacksmithing Class Schedule") Since the cost of materials used in a class fluctuates over time, and at times, even from class to class, the fee is calculated separately and added to the cost of the class. The posted material fee can change without notice.

Regardless if you are paying the course fee with cash/check or by credit/debit card/PayPal, the material fee is a separate fee and will be collected at the beginning of the class.  You must pay this fee with cash or check.  Sorry, at this time I do not accept credit/debit card/PayPal as payment for the material fee.

CREDIT/DEBIT CARD PAYMENTS:
You can select to pay using PayPal or bypass PayPal and use your card directly.
1. Select the 1 or 2 day class, then click the "Pay Now" button. (A new window will open to PayPal's website.)
2. Next, confirm the "Purchase Details" by clicking the "Continue" button.
3. To bypass PayPal click the "Pay with Debit card or Credit card" button.
4. Follow prompts to complete payment.
