Tool Testing

Already experienced with equipment? Skip the class and get cleared directly.

A Tool Test is a one-on-one appointment with a WBMS instructor where you demonstrate safe operation, setup, and shutdown of specific equipment. Pass, and you'll receive clearance to use that equipment independently during open studio days or 7 days a week as a member — no class required.

Testing will take 30-60 minutes.
