Class Rates & Teaching Fees, as you’ll soon see, vary from location to location. Higher rates seem to be concentrated in large cities. NOTE: Our research was completed during stronger economic times (2005-06).  Today's fees may be higher, or depending on the location, lower.  Be proactive with your research.  And be aware that there are no governmental regulations (that we're aware of) covering class rates and teaching fees.  It's an open market out there.  Shop wisely.
