Announcing Contractor Classes for 2026 at GCE

It is time again to get set for the new year. Below is the tentative class schedule for 2026. Classes are given by different members of our qualified staff. Please call to register, 770-921-0397. There is a $25 deposit for a class and then on the day of when you attend you can use that $25 to purchase anything in the store, except for bleach. Or you can roll that $25 to another class. If not enough people have preregistered for a class it may be canceled but if the class is being held and there is room that day you can still come and attend without the deposit. But to be sure the class you want to attend is not canceled, Please pre-register. Unless otherwise stated, classes are held on Fridays starting at 8 am and run until 9:30 – 10:00 depending on topic, needs and class participation. If you have a topic you want to see us cover and enough would be interested we can substitute for one of the repeated classes or add in another date during the year.
