OUTLINE OF CURRICULUM

FULL TIME PROGRAM

Four academic years over 36 calendar months divided into eight semesters of 15 weeks each.

Attendance is predominantly for 2 days per week during semesters 1-5 (Fri-Sat) and 3 days per week during semesters 6-8 (Thurs-Sat). Guided home study is extensive: 2 hours preparation per classroom hour and ½ hour preparation per clinical hour.  

EXTENDED PROGRAM

Four academic years over 42 calendar months: five semesters of 5 months each followed by three semesters of 15 weeks each. 

Attendance is predominantly for 6 contiguous days per month during semesters 1-5 (Thurs-Tues) and 3 days per week during semesters 6-8 (Thurs-Sat or Sun-Tues). Guided home study is extensive: 2 hours preparation per classroom hour and ½ hour preparation per clinical hour.   

ADVANCED PROGRAM

Four academic years over 37 calendar months.
In Academic Years One, Two and the first 6 months of Year Three, attendance at college is based on 6 days per month. Classes are always Thursday through Tuesday during the first 24 months.
For the remaining 3 months of Academic Year Three and the whole of Academic Year Four, attendance is 2-3 days per week with students attending clinic from 8.30 am to 6 pm or 9 am to 6.30 pm.  Depending on your intake group, clinic days are either Friday and Saturday with a classroom day on Sunday, or Sunday and Monday with a classroom day on Tuesday (with 2 additional days during the clinical period). 
The program is organized so that the first two calendar years of the training allow students to continue working, at least part time.  There is no necessity to live in the vicinity of the college.  However, for the final year, we recommend that students relocate to the area and concentrate exclusively on their studies due to the intensive nature of this period of clinical practice/supervision.
