• Once a week for 6 weeks with 75-90 minute sessions
• Once a week for 8 weeks with 60 minute sessions (splitting 2 workbook sessions)
• 4 Saturday mornings with 2 ½ sessions each
• 2 Sunday afternoons with 4 ½ hours each.
• A concentrated 1 ½ day session (which doesn’t provide as much application time)
