What people are saying
Just graduated Engines 101. Fantastic 8 hour course. Lots of fun and lots to learn. Thanks to Instructors Mike & Craig. They make it fun. Highly recommend RevsEd. I’ll be taking more courses. A visit to Revs is a must for any car enthusiast. It’s more than museum. Learn about how cars have allowed humanity to advance.James
Revs has been a wonderful place for my 14 year old son and his friends. They are currently in camp here and having the best time. The staff is professional, and the space is immaculate and safe. If you have preteens/teens don’t miss out on seeing this place! Anyone that loves antique cars would enjoy Revs Museum as well.Lori Z
I recently took Electrical 101 at RevsEd. It was an eight hour class broken up into 4 sessions. I had some basic knowledge before it started but the class really boosted my skill set. I am in a much better position now to diagnose issues with my classic car and the instructors really made the learning process fun. I'm already looking for the next class to take!Charles K
I just completed my first RevsEd course; it was outstanding! I took automotive electrical 101; even though I have worked on cars my whole life I learned a lot. Great instructors and very good hands on approach allowing students to learn diagnostics in a real world environment. I highly recommend all the RevsEd courses; I'll be taking more.Steve L
