The DMV APS suspension proceedings never REQUIRES anyone to attend any alcohol classes. They do however ADVISE about VOLUNTARY classes that you may attend that may help you obtain a restricted driver's license in some counties. But if the decision was that you did refuse to take a chemical test and were therefore suspended for one year there are no DUI classes that could even remotely help you get any type of license... But at least the speed ex seems to be a very good trade off... but only you really know that. As Mr. White said and I agree... if the Judge ordered a class then attend that class, if not then you're good. You do the class for the offense that you were convicted of and in this case there is no class for that.
