Houdini Training License Deal

[thenice]

Does anyone know if the Houdini training license deal is still on? I can't seem to find any info about it. I want to get up to speed with Houdini in my spare time and eventually make a move over to that platform at some point and the training license deal seemed like the best road.

it looks like the training deals were in April. I have seen sidefx do that promo before. They should run it once a month. It looks like they consistly have the free introduction course in Santa Monica and Toronto. I do not know if you can purchase the non-commercial license from those classes but it would be a good place to start.
