Is there a difference between tenses : Adjective and nouns?
ex) This is a [30-min/30-mins] class.
It will take [30 min/30 mins].
This is a [2-hr/2-hrs] class.
It will take [2 hr/2 hrs].

When you make any plural noun or noun phrase into a modifier (placed before the noun), it becomes singular.
So "a class which lasts 2 hours" would become "a 2-hour class". It would be the same for any other duration e.g. "a 4-year course".
I have to say that it would be unusual, in my experience, to write "a 2-hr class" or "4-yr course" but I couldn't say that they would be wrong. My preference is to use the full word when it is used as a modifier.
