Degreaser class?

In my mind, only if it means running an alcohol swab in the chamber and barrel and keeping grease from the underside of a bolt action. That “class” should take about 5 minutes max.

If they mean, removing grease from all parts and re-lubing the parts appropriately with new grease/oil, that could be longer but it isn’t something that should take a “class”.
TubeYou will cover all of that for free.

Makes no sense to me unless it is a class on how to remove cosmoline from a Mosin Nagant. I see no other need for a class on how to remove “grease” from a firearm.

We got a request for range time from a non member of our club:
"...degreaser classes for gin (sic) safety because the company I work for there's interest in doing a class like that as a team building exercise

There are a surprising number of shooters who are really uncomfortable with taking their guns apart to clean.
As a part time armorer for a shooting school, I see a fair number of these guns. These folks simply shoot em until they quit working and then I get them. I clean and lube and send them back.
When I show folks how to field strip, they always seem grateful. Ymmv....

This, I totally understand! And I’ve seen it more than a few times.
But calling it a “Degreaser Class”? Ummmm, no.
Weapons maintenance class, probably a better term.

If I find out more about team building while degreasing guns, I will let you know.

Would "gin" actually cut grease?

Gin? It has alcohol in it, so yeah.
