Most workshops meet at 6 p.m. on the LBCC campus. Choose training on either Macintosh or PC platforms by the CRN number. If there are no available openings for that workshop, try the CRN for the other computer platform. You still may be admitted if you're willing to use the other platform, and software applications basically operate the same on both platforms.
