Most of our programs last six to nine months.

Absolutely. While enrolled in our program, students have the opportunity to acquire valuable skills and knowledge without interruption from their day-to-day lives. With mentorship guidance, individuals are able to develop a personalized schedule that fits into any existing commitments. We suggest participants should make an effort to attend studio sessions at least twice each week — but why not longer?
