Class will be a mix of live on-line and in-person, with 68 hours live on-line and 62 hours in-person. The in-person classes will be over three 3-4 day weekends. An additional 100 hours will be documented for outside classroom work which includes giving 90 1-hour reflexology sessions and at least 10 hours for student-led assignments (including a student-designed case study, legislative research for their state, and weekly papers on organs and glands). In addition, there will be a post-program study group equaling at least 10 hours to help students prepare for the ARCB test. Total program hours equal 230 hours. |
