I have to wait till early August to take mine, that's so long. All the schools in the San Jose area are all filled till then, I check in Aptos and Gilroy but no luck. Is there a way for me to just show up like on-call incase if someone comes late or doesn't go?

Well where I am you can go to the classes and try to get in on standby if there are no-shows to the class. Thats how I got in. YMMV.

I registered in February and didn't even make it on the first two weeks of opening season for MSF. You're lucky to have more of a season than I do here in northern Minnesota.

As for a substitute list, yes they have em. Get the local registrar's direct number and pester them on a weekly notice. You might be down deep on that list, but if you really want to get in before August, show some persistence and you'll likely get in earlier.

At my place, they had a phone number that you could call at 1pm on Wednesdays to see if there were any cancellations. Once I found at there was a cancellation, I drove straight to the local community college to sign up. There were at least 6 other people there doing the same thing.

Be persistent and you may get lucky.

That's par for the course - I registered in February for a May course. Three months of staring out the window

Worth the wait tho.

That's pretty typical of CA. When I went to enroll last October they were full for the year so I got on the waiting list and got lucky and got in the end of Octobe. Try to get on a waiting list if you can.

i signed up to be on call in April and they ended up creating a new class because they had so many people wanting it. but they created this class before any of the others and so I get to take it in july (earliest class they offer).
