Orientation — 3 hours
On the first day of class, you and your new classmates will gather with our staff, to get acquainted with each other and to become more prepared for the upcoming months. We will introduce you to your study materials and cover the logistics, policies, and procedures for achieving success in our program.
Study Habits — 4 hours
This course is designed to help the student with organizational and study techniques for the demanding academic load.
Exam Review — 12 hours
In this class, we review previously taught material to prepare you for both our program's comprehensive final exam and the National Certification Exam. We also encourage students to regularly review course material throughout the program, individually and in study groups. The national Certification Exam is an important component of a professional career and many states now require passing this exam as a condition for state licensing. We encourage all students to take this exam.
Comprehensive Final Exam — 3 hours
This exam covers all aspects of our curriculum and comes at the end of the program. Throughout your time here, we will give you study tips, quizzes, tests and reviews to prepare you for this opportunity to demonstrate your comprehension and mastery.
