The instructor was amazing. Would have rated this class 5 stars, but the classroom was seldom opened on time which caused us to have to stay 15-30 minutes after the scheduled end time of the class. Fortunately for me everyone was willing to do that.

This class was so much fun! The instructor was sweet - very personable, funny, knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. It was great to have a hands on experience— reminded me of being a kid in school. And the materials were quality and there was quite a variety of them too. And… I made soap! I’m still kind of thrilled about the whole experience over 24 hours later. Can’t wait to use my new soap when it finishes curing!

The instructor was very nice and welcoming. The class was easy to find and get to. I just had a few issues about the curriculum. He taught a few things about soap making that wasn’t true. Thankfully I took a few classes prior or else I wouldn’t have been able to point it out. He never touched the packet he passed out only to look at the recipes given. He never spoke on safety while working with “lye” which is a big no no.

Well organized and structured PowerPoint presentation with a class handout. The instructor knows the subject well and gives helpful equipment, resource and protocol ideas, including sharing some of his own and others' first-hand experiences. Being prepared for a natural disaster or medical emergency, so you can protect yourself, your loved ones and your pets, is crucial. This class was definitely worth my time and money.
The personal challenge that remains is to implement what I just learned…
