This intensive, full-time program is designed for total immersion. In just three weeks, you’ll cover the same material taught in semester-long programs — but with a greater focus on practical skills, instructor support, and exam readiness.

Small class sizes (8:1 student-to-instructor ratio) mean more time practicing, more feedback, and better results. Spots fill quickly, and we keep each cohort intentionally small to ensure quality.
