Future class sites will be determined based upon applicant locations. If we have enough interest in an region, we will set up a program that would be conveniently located to those applicants. Some possible sites could include Fortune Bay Casino, Shooting Star Casino, Cedar Lakes Casino and also Bemidji and of course we will continue to provide programming in the Fond du Lac Band area. Class sizes are limited but please know we will have several more opportunities for you over the next several coming months at various locations throughout Minnesota. More than one class may operate at a time so we encourage you to apply.
