when i lived in chicago, the state offered (and still does) a class for about $25. problem was that you had to sign up online and they never really gave a signup date so you had to check back regularly. by the time i would check back classes were filled. grrrrr! now i live in Miami and i have looked for something similar. no luck. all i can find are classes that run $300+. not sure why i have a probelm paying this amount of money for a class. maybe because i know i could have gotten it cheaper in chicago. so my search continues….and if all else fails, i treat myself!
