You can for instance take contact with a rabbi at a local synagoge and maybe study with him..I'm sure he will help you and let you borrow material for free or maybe buy them for a cheap-money. Then you can still study it without having any contact with the kabbahla Center.

Atomiswave: You keep going around and around. The Kabbalah Center is what it is, a nonprofit run by a family much like a business that has hurt many people. If you don't care that's your choice.
