No promise or guarantee regarding the outcome of any student's project is implied since results are solely determined by a student's individual skill level and/or prior experience. The Shoe College's programs are intended to impart valuable lab experience and knowledge regarding many aspects of quality, hand-made construction and other important aspects of the shoe trades that students must build upon after attending. Students must not expect to come away with a perfect sample or a perfectly fitting shoe in the limited duration of any single class, course or program since this can only come w/ the student's commitment of time and practice after the completion of any course of study at The Shoe College. Some students may not complete their projects within the time allotted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
