Colorado Free University

My husband and I took a class on being your own general contractor here. For the price, the classes are really informative. We’ll definitely be back.

Hey now, talk about a great idea! I finally took my first class with CFU. I’m not sure how I came across it, but hands down, brilliant. Basically they have gathered all of these professionals together to share their skills, hobbies or inspiration with the public for VERY affordable prices. That’s how this world should be, sharing is caring:)
I took the Jams and Jellies class with Steve Bass this past Saturday. In two and a half hours I came out with the foundation and confidence to do my own canning. I’m so excited! Not only did I learn, but I got to take some home to my friends!
I spoke to some of the other ladies in the class, all had wonderful experiences from anything like language classes, to belly dancing. I can’t wait to take another course. There is something for everyone and it’s not a huge time commitment, so you can’t make excuses for not giving it a try.
Thanks for making these opportunities available to me and giving the teachers a place to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for their passions!

I’m taking American Sign Language at Colorado Free University. The course is affordable ($ 75), the professor is fantastic, and the class size is small. I also LOVE the parking situation-​very convenient.

I’ve taken plenty of courses through CFU from finance to computer software to creative writing and this is the only place you can find affordable and semi-​affordable classes in just about anything. If your not looking for a full degree from a college but just want to learn a new hobby or further your knowledge for your career look here. The location is OK, just a little difficult to get to in rush hour from downtown but a nice facility.

Hey, this place is really cool.
Colorado Free University offers a lot of interesting classes on the relative cheap (ranging from $ 35 — $ 65, as far as I can tell, unless they carry on week after week).
There are classes on metaphysics, public speaking, cooking, local history, dance, computers, communications … and so on. Convenient to get to and a group of interesting teachers make this place quite the resource.

Do you like to learn something new in an informal, friendly environment? Then get out of the house and check out Colorado Free University. I’ve taken a number of classes here over the last 2 years and have enjoyed the experience.
The classes range from practical, work-​related topics, like Microsoft Excel, to ”fun stuff”, such as learning travel tips or some kind of arts-​and-​crafts hobby. The classes tend to be small (less than 8 people usually) and it’s very easy to register. Classes can be dropped up to 72 hours in advance, and there is a wide variety of times and days of the week offered.
The teachers I have had here are generally good, although a few did not have highly polished teaching skills. The buildings are a bit hard to find too if you are not familiar with the Lowry neighborhood. But it’s a safe and clean neighborhood, so sign-​up for something now — no excuses!

All five stars are for the founder and his sister, who really understand what makes a community worthwhile. CFU has sustained Denver with its dedication to continuing education, and its prices are way cheaper than the bureacracies or the corporate schools.

My husband has been wanting to learn sign language forever.
I paid a great fee to learn from a great teacher who did not talk at all even though he could.
Great pricing, great class and can’t wait to take another.
Only gave 4 stars do to not getting college credit…

I’ve taken a few fun classes here. It’s not free but met some real characters including an older lady who told me the entire story of her first period!

I don’t know why they call themselves the Colorado FREE University, because it certainly isn’t free. One star off for a deceptive name!
That said, you can find a variety of mostly-​reasonably-​priced classes here. Several years ago I took the Stained Glass class and was SO impressed with the skillz I learned! I’m now– still, like 10 years later– able to make some pretty cool stuff (if only I had the time). The artsy-​craftsy classes are definitely worth your time and money. The cooking classes are too.
However…
…I’d avoid the «How to be a Private Investigator» class (if they still offer it, that is). I took it and after being barraged with a wealth of mostly useless knowledge, I set myself loose in the seediest of seedy Denver ‘hoods to see which bars were illegally showing some Pay-​Per-​View boxing match. Um, was I TRYING to get shot? Note to self: little cracka teeny-​bopper girl… you don’t blend in here. One CFU course does not a Magnum make, and apparently I was missing the red Ferrari and Hawaiian shirts ta’ boot.
So yeah, that course was beyond worthless, it was borderline dangerous. It gave me the false impression that I was a total badass. REAL Private Investigation is nothing like it is on «Magnum PI,» or «Moonlighting.» If only I’d known that before wasting the cash.

I have been using Colorado Free Universtity for years now. Last month i did a great internet marketing class. I have also learned Photoshop, Html, Spanish, and even a yoga class. they are always fun and the teachers do know what they are doing, call them «experts» in the field if you will and yet the prices for classes are reasonable.

CFU is a great new take on the adult education classes that some colleges offer. The classes are very diverse, from languages, computer applications, art, dance, exercise, spiritual, relationships, financial, travel and much, much, more.
I’ve taken do-​it-​yourself landscaping, retirement investing, and drawing classes so far. They were all very enjoyable and well worth the fees.
All my classes have been at their Lowry building off Quebec which was easy to find and had plenty of parking.
I would highly recommend CFU to anyone that wants to continue learning.

Somehow my boyfriend didn’t think that pouring a bowl of cereal for him naked would be the way to his heart… Well, not in the long run anyway…
So some time ago I took an Asian cooking class at CFU so I could surprise my boyfriend on Valentine’s day with a luscious homemade meal. I really enjoyed the class and was confident that it would be a hit on the big celebration of Valentines Day.
So, just like old times, I got naked and started cooking away, and although it did not lead to his heart for every cereal meal after that day, it definitely worked for that night… wink wink.
The only problem is that now, whenever I cook him something special, it is the same meal… At least I try right?
* Star one is for romance
** Authentic star two is for the international flair
*** Ms. Cook star three is for impressing my boyfriend with one meal
**** Oh My star four is helping me have a successful Valentine’s Day celebration

Adult education for shits and giggles but could give you the balls to start a new career. I’ve only done 2 of the cooking classes — Asian Meals in Minutes by Yume. I’ve taken the Thai and Vietnamese classes and now I feel comfortable making Masaman Curry and Thai Beef Salad with my eyes closed and Rice Noodle Bowl with Vietnamese Spring Rolls with my hands cuffed.
They offer a plethora of classes ranging from belly dancing to guided ghost walks through town. I am looking forward to how to start and import/​exxport business and how to make the most of living and starting a business in a another country.
