Yes.  A replacement certificate can be obtained for $5.
How do I find out if a class is full?
Once you register for a class, you will get a conformation email stating that you are registered.  If a class if full, the email will ask if you would like to register for the next available workshop date.  Core classes fill up quickly so PLEASE register in advance to ensure your spot.
Why do you need my email?
We do most of our communication through email.  This is how we confirm registration, or let you know of a date or location change.  It is very important that we have your correct email address! Daystar does not share your email with anyone.
