If the course is to take place at the address listed, then I am unable to attend. It's a little over 2,800 miles from me. Thanks for the info though.

LCpl Emanuel W. - you are welcome my friend.
This is an online course taken from the comfort of your own computer system.
The physical location is roughly the same distance to me since live near Washington, D.C.
I try to spread the word to people who might be interested or know others who are.
