ANo, you do not have to take Online Classes with eSUN. It is an option. But we have added this option because we have received many requests from previous eSUN users who wish to have live Online Classes that are based on eSUN. We strongly recommend and we believe it is very beneficial that you take Online Classes together with eSUN.
