Course Calendar
All dates and offerings subject to change. Information is up to date as of October 21, 2026.
We are pleased to announce a new schedule for 2027! Beginning in January, the VLCFF will move from seven course cycles to five. The new schedule spaces our cycles more evenly throughout the year, making it easier to plan your studies, and allows us to organize our course offerings more thoughtfully.
The courses for each cycle are being finalized now and will be posted soon. We look forward to learning with you in 2027!
