I think it's a great idea. I took a similar class at the local community college and that's what got me back into the reef hobby, totally gave me the confidence to try it myself. In junior high I tried to get a salt tank going and failed miserably (this was when dolomite and undergravel filters were state of the art). Later on I was interested i getting back in but couldn't get my head around all the current technology (pre-Reef Central). I found and ended up taking this class that met once a week for about 6 or 8 weeks. During the course of the class we set up (in the classroom) a 29 gallon with a 10 gallon sump, powerhead for a return pump, built a DIY skimmer, added live rock, cycled it, and added some critters. Some people followed step-by-step at home and if they ran into trouble were able to ask questions when they got back to the next class.
