You must have ample classroom space to accomodate the students.
Classes with workshops must have adequate terminal and computer time available to all students.
Your facilities must be approved by MG Technologies.
You will be credited an amount based on the class type and number of outside students attending. The typical credit ranges between ten and fifteen percent of outside student registration amounts. Contact MG Technologies for additional information.
MG Technologies provides administrative functions and materials.

MG Technologies cannot guarantee the number of outside students that will attend a class. The actual number enrolled is affected by how much advance notice is given, class popularity, proximity, and other factors.
