Program is 1,000 contact hours. Students attend 5 hours daily for 5 days a week, which is 25 hours total per week. Therfeore, at 25 hours a week the 1,000 hours would take 40 weeks. When allowing for the school holidays (no credit hours completed) it actually takes more like 10 months. NOTE: 9 months is in reality 39 weeks. The "40 weeks" translates to approximately 9 months. After allowing for holidays (the extra days that school is closed) the actual calendar months is just under 10 months, which we have rounded to 10 months.
