1. Classroom and Hands-On
Instruction
Students attend classes once a month (on a Friday
and Saturday) and receive classroom and hands-on instruction.
2. Practicum
Students are required to complete a minimum of 20
assessments and treatments between classes.
3. Course study
Students are responsible to study the texts and material
supplied by the College.
4. Research Projects
There are usually 4 research projects that must be
completed and handed in during the course of study.
Students must be prepared to spend,
on average, two to three hours per day to complete the
practicum, course study and research components. Total
hours for the course will be 2000.

 Students
receive a quiz at the beginning of each class and are
required to submit their case studies of animals treated.
In September of the second term, students write a midterm
