Consistency in instruction, attendance, and daily practice are very important for someone learning the basics. It is possible to miss an occasional class and still keep up with the material.  If you think you will miss large blocks of class, it would be advisable to wait until another time to begin Tai Chi instruction.  Section I classes are taught frequently throughout the year.

Don't be in a hurry. Tai Chi is a life-long study and it is important at the beginning to adopt an unhurried, non-competitive approach to learning it.  It would be a mistake to value quantity of movements above quality. Everybody learns at a different pace for a variety of reasons, so some people are ready to move on to Section II right away and others may wish to repeat Section I more than once.
