During any given session in the same classroom, there will be students enrolled in a class who are starting with module 1, those who have reached module 2 and others who have reached module 3.

The instructor covers the techniques each student needs based on where they are in the module program.

The skill level of different students varies greatly, which is why some students are able to do all the exercises before others are able to complete them.

We want all students to be comfortable with the techniques they are learning before moving on to the next exercise.

We encourage students to go at their own pace. You pay for each session and each session consists of 6 to 8 classes. Some students could take 8 or more classes to complete a module or, they can take less than 8 classes and start a new module in the same session.

You will pick-up wherever you are in the Modules program at the next session.

Generally speaking a module takes approximately 32 hours to complete
