Firestorm Classes
These classes are based on our current Firestorm release and are conducted in text and/or voice as noted. There's no need to talk in a voice class, but you may want to be able to hear the instructor. We also usually have help available to answer questions in text.
Note that it is not mandatory that you use Firestorm to attend our classes, but it is best if you do.
Classes are held at the Firestorm Classroom unless otherwise noted.
Classes normally held daily between 8 am and 7 pm SLT. The schedule may change without notice. if the class times are inconvenient some classes have been recorded and are available on YouTube.
Unscheduled classes may also be held on an impromptu basis. If this happens, a notice will be sent in Firestorm Support English. secondlife:///app/group/3a1be8d4-01f3-bc1a-2703-442f0cc8f2dd/about
