Our in-person courses are intensive and usually last 1-2 weeks, depending on the specific course or seminar. During these courses, all the material is taught in person, and most of our practicum courses provide the opportunity to work with a child under the guidance of an experienced certified trainer.
Our online courses vary in intensity (between 1-3 times a week) and require several hours of individual practice and viewing pre-recorded videos. Please allow time in your schedule to accommodate the workload.
