Online Classes

Welcome to our new resource! We are now offering online classes. You will join the class and work with the same class members for that time. We will work on one assignment a day. Each person can respond and ask questions as much as they like. The questions and replies go to all the members of the group.

Most classes will run one week at a cost of $12.99. We have found that several need more than a week and have adjusted the pricing up accordingly.

To see a listing of the next start dates for classes, click here. Please wait to sign up for a class until a week or two before the class is scheduled.

Shortly after you register and before a class begins, you will receive an autoresponder or an 'invite' to join the Yahoo email group through which the class is being conducted. Please be sure to click on the link in the email to join the group.If you do not receive an email with a link to join the Yahoo group, you might want to check your spam folders to see if it fell in there.

We also ask you to read our Yahoo for Smarties tutorial which explains how email lists work and what our Rules for the Road are in terms of participation so that everyone feels safe in sharing.

If you have further questions, please check our Question and Answer page or email me at kathleen@radiantrecovery.com.

Payment is due upon registration. If you find you cannot take the class at the time it is being offered, we will issue a credit for you to take another or the same class at a later date, if we are notified within two days. After that there will be no credits issued.
