What a Saturday looks like

Ten full days is a real commitment, so we run them well.

Class runs 9:00 to 4:00. Breakfast on the first day, when you'll meet the people you'll be studying with for the next two months. Coffee and food throughout every session — you won't be hunting for lunch downtown on a Saturday.

The last day is different. You'll sit a full practice exam under real conditions, get individual feedback on your readiness, and then we close with lunch together. Most people leave that day knowing exactly what they still need to work on, and knowing they're going to be fine.
