What if I cannot make it to a training date?
If you miss any of the dates for the training modules, you will have to make it up at your own discretion. You are allowed to come observe subsequent modules at a later date for a fee of $100 per day. It is your responsibility to make up for any lost time you are not at your group’s training modules. There will also be a recording available to watch online with a passcode.
When should I test out of the modules?
Only test out when you are ready and feel confident you know the material. If you fail your 90-minute test, for each module, you will have to wait 4 weeks before taking it again, in which you will be charged a re-testing fee of $150. So please make sure you are ready to take your test before booking.

How many hours a week do I need to come to the studio?
We recommend you come to the studio to work on your hours at least 12 hours a week. The training is 12 to 18 months so coming 12 hours a week is suggested. If you are having a bad week, maybe you won't even have time to come to the studio. But you can always come more or less if you have to. Try to stay as consistent as possible so you can finish the training in a timely manner and start building your clientele.
Can I do this training after work or on the weekends?
Yes, there will be time to come and do your training hours when you can fit them in. That is why this training is so great, because you will be able to make it around your schedule. If you still have a full time job but looking to add this in or change careers, this is so flexible!
