Over three years I've been wanting to get certified, and I think I'm finally going to do it! There's never been a class near enough to where I live, or during a time I could get off work to travel to a class! But I just found a class in Reno, NV that's during the first week of Nov. It's a pretty good time to take a week off work (the slow time between wedding season and the holidays... I work at a bakery) too! I'll have to drive 7 hours to Tahoe where my parents live, and another hour to Reno, but it's the best option I've had to take the test in three years. It's like the stars have aligned!
I might even be able to stay a night or two with my brother, SIL and nephews in reno, but I think their house is sort of under construction or something, and my SIL is pregnant and really sick.
So, it looks like an open class... should I email the instructor anyway and introduce myself since I'm traveling so far to take the class? Does anyone know, or know of, any CPSTIs in Reno (I don't know if it would be ok to post the instructor's name)? What if I get some awful, outdated instructor who says it's totally fine to booster a 40lb. 3.5 year old, or FF a 25 lb. 15mo baby?
Should I try and contact the main CPSTI in this area? Before or after I take the class? I've only talked to her once, about a year and a half ago... We didn't exactly hit it off. She said that a class in town would be posted soon, but I kept checking and never saw one.
