Yes, and from what I've heard they are fairly unexpensive. And correct me if I am wrong but you can recieve college credit for this course as well. Their website should be updating the chase page for next year sometime within the next 2 months.

Wonder if Tom Skilling From WGN In Chicago ever joins up with them? I know he does the Fermlab Tornado Spotter Classes with Ted Fuijita Every Year

That's ok, honest mistake. I haven't heard of Skilling ever going with them. I know it used to be only people that had previously taken a meteorology course through them could go. Now they made one available for public as well.
