Academy Timeline

Due to the unique nature of this program, you could technically accomplish the 720 hour requirement in less than four years. Even if you can't take Auto for a year, you could still be eligible for a cord.

Because you can take multiple periods of this elective, and because you can progress on a semester basis in addition to the yearly progression, it is possible to get the hours in less than four years. Please contact the instructor for more information.
