My dealer had classes using the 830 Emulator but no free hands on classes like they do for their other machines. They do have some classes that are project based that you pay for. If you go to Bernina's website berninausa.com there is a separate section for these machines. They also have webinars on their website from time to time strictly for the 830. Talk to the dealer you are purchasing the machine from and find out exactly what type of training they offer and what type of support is available. Love my machine even though I do not get to use it as much as I would like to.
