It seems I just missed getting into section 2 of the beginning class. :P But! Here’s a class on their online course system that doesn’t require me to have anything more than I already own, and I don’t have to go to classes ;D (Look at this other online offering…and here are some business courses…)
There are some other interesting classes, like:

but it seems a little too basic. Maybe their online course would be best.
And, of course, no list of classes I’m interested in taking would be complete without these:
