A: The Hybrid program is ideal for those students that like to complete the training on their own pace. If you are an eager student that is willing to study every day and wants to complete this program as fast as one month, you can do so. However, if someone wants to take more time to attend to other life responsibilities and take this course at a slower pace, you can do so and still complete this training under 6 months.
Also, those that have to drive long distances to our training facility can save a lot of time completing our academic portion of the class online and only attend the 27 hours of in Office training. In addition, if you are currently working full time or attending to family obligations and cannot take time away this will be a great way to multi task. This program can start at any time upon your registration approval.

The Traditional program is great for those students that are not worried about traveling to our facility or are not in a rush getting this program completed.
The space is limited for our In-Office training program, so if you are a plan ahead type of a person this will be an ideal program for you. Apply and save your seat for our next scheduled training. This program is offered 5 times a year and starts at the beginning of February, April, June, August, and October.
