Question from anonymous
I am an Architect from Malta who is willing to enroll for a custom bike building course. I believe the curriculum that you offer is very much in line with what I am looking for. I am aware that course is currently not available, however, could you kindly let me know whether you plan on doing this course this year? Regards, Luke Fenech
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Luke! We really can't say when will it be offered again. The school is the one giving us the schedule and there's no update on that as of yet. You can add it to your wish-list so you can be notified via email when new updates are made on the website.
