Admissions
We normally enroll new students the first Tuesday of each
month, with the exception of July and December.  The typical
school schedule is as follows:
Tuesday - Friday 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
Saturday 8:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

In order to complete the 1500 clock hour program with the
above schedule, you would be enrolled approximately 12
months.  Students are allowed to contract for more hours each
day in order to complete their program in less than a year.
