for in-person instruction, students will attend class 2 days per week for instruction/theory for one hour and fifty minutes per session. Students are required to complete weekly assignments and tests that must be submitted by the end of each week. The last week of class consist of Two-day hands-on clinical training, Final Exam, and white coat ceremony.  Students must attend the two-day hands-on training to receive full certification.
