My experience at CRA started out great but has gone downhill, and currently, I'm really…read moredisappointed. When I started last summer, I had a great instructor and learned a lot. I continued on after the summer, paying $200.00/month for adult small group lessons. Some of the lessons were cancelled due to "black-out dates" or swim meets. Other lessons involved substitute instructors, some good and others who seemed young, inexperienced and lacking in teaching skills. CRA states that "there are occasional dates on which programming is cancelled. These interruptions are taken into account when calculating monthly tuition." So there were at least 9 cancelled classes and it is hard to wrap my head around the math - it seems like a few months, we were paying $100.00/class. I guess the money spent is OK if the instruction is consistently top-notch, but not if it is otherwise. Recently, there was an abrupt change in swimming instructors, and I wanted to talk to someone in management about it. I wrote two emails, waited a week, and was promised a call which I never received. So I'm finishing out my time with CRA since I already paid $200.00 for the final month of May, but as I said, I am SO disappointed and will likely not return. It is a real bummer. Follow-up: The new director of aquatic programming finally called me back and it was one of the most unsatisfying conversations I've ever had. He doesn't listen in an open-minded way and has canned answers. Although I doubt he has taken lessons with the instructors at CRA, I was wrong and ALL the instructors have the same level of expertise and can provide the programming I need. He had no desire to really listen to my concerns. Any nuanced people skills are woefully non-existent. I think CRA has hired the wrong person for the job.

I can't say enough about this place…read more I took the full 4 day bartending course and absolutely loved it. I have to be honest that I took the class more for fun than to learn to become a professional bartender. No matter if your goal is for to learn for fun or for a job I can't imagine any place could better prepare you. They teach you in the way that makes most sense, hands on. The classroom is actually a real bar. So it makes things really feel like your working an actual bar. You start with the basics and finish with a practical test where you have to make 15 or so different drinks that the instructor orders from you out of a total of like 40 or 50 that they teach you in the class. They also teach you a lot of history and general bar knowledge which I found fascinating. The other really interesting aspect was all the first hand experiences and insights of the instructors. All the instructors were very experienced bartenders who were also great teachers. I found the stories and tips they gave to be the most valuable part of the class. So if you want to be a bartender or are just really interested in cocktail culture I would highly recommend taking a course from them.
