Reserved Training Appointments
Please review the information below, then pay for and reserve your training time at NECCA. After we have received your payment, you will be emailed a link to fill out your equipment, rigging, and time slot needs. Once you have filled out your form, you will receive a confirmation email with your equipment, rigging, and time slot.
Important Info
Training Reservations
We are happy to be able to provide a disinfected and socially-distanced place to train during this time. Previously we offered open training times we called “Members Only.” Now, because participants must have an assigned space and an appointment, we are calling this training option “Reserved Training.” To be eligible for Reserved Training, you must be pre approved and start with an orientation and pre-pay for your training time. There is a health officer on site at all times for emergencies, but there is no coaching help available during the Reserved Training times. This is recommended for intermediate to advanced students and artists who do not require guidance or someone to oversee their training.
You can join our Facebook group for the most recent updates and information on Reserved Training!
PRECAUTIONS
Any reserved training participants must follow all of NECCA’s COVID-19 safety policies in addition to our regular studio safety policies. This requires, among other things: each participant to have a scheduled appointment, provide their own equipment (or have NECCA equipment assigned to them), be willing and able to train while wearing a face mask, and be socially distancing in their lives outside of NECCA.
You must also either live in Vermont or one of the approved counties. Click here for a list of those counties.
A full list of required COVID-19 Safety policies are available here.
COST
Cost for the initial reserved training orientation is $20. You only need to do this once, then you are approved to sign up for reserved training times at $20 per 2-hour session.
This calendar is updated weekly and is subject to change at any time.

Due to COVID-19 we unfortunately have to restrict entry of folks living in counties that are not approved for travel to Vermont. Please check here each day BEFORE traveling to NECCA to make sure you will not be turned away from your classes. This information is what we will use to determine if you may enter NECCA if you live in a different county.
NECCA follows all Vermont protocols for quarantining and other COVID procedures. Please check the Vermont guidelines before traveling to or from Vermont.
COVID TESTING REGISTRATION
If you are returning from travels outside of Vermont, you must either quarantine for 2 weeks or quarantine for 1 week and receive a negative COVID test. Make sure you plan ahead for your test and return to NECCA.
