From what I've read over the years, and what my Mom told me about doing it, I'm not interested in it because there seems to be a heavy emphasis on chemical use and info about chems. I don't use anything like that for the past 20 yrs. I'm sure I could find that kind of info readily available via search engines & package labels. Mom didn't come away from the program with the "need" to compost, which seems like the very most basic and important thing any gardener could or should be doing.
Regardless of how I feel, you may want to investigate the curriculum your particular group offers, to make sure it's stuff you want to learn, that you think will be of benefit to you and your community.
Deb, unfriendly gardeners? I didn't know such existed. (frown!)
