Workshop Policies

Registration

Necessary Academy Workshops have limited enrollment and require pre-registration; therefore your space in a workshop will not be held until payment has been received in full. At that time, you will be issued a confirmation email. We accept credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover) or cash. No checks accepted.

How to Register:

Register via our website. Note that it is not necessary to create a PayPal user account. Upon Checkout, select the “Debit/Credit” option.
