Chances are you have a hobby but you’re not sure if you want to study it.
Whether you’re looking into cooking, sewing, blogging, woodcarving and more, you can put your skills and passions to the test for $25 to $40.
Langara College is offering a Mini Night School on Saturday, September 10 that lets you figure out what you want to do with its quick courses. You can regularly commit to a four or eight week session but since making your mind up is difficult, Langara’s created an affordable teaser day to alleviate any uncertainty.
There are over 30 different options with a three hour course being $40 and a two hour course being $25, both of which you can buy tickets for online.
Here are just six of the courses being offered as part of the Mini Night School.
