Dual Enrollment Opportunity: Because Day-Set A and Day-Set B operate on completely different days, a motivated student could theoretically enroll in two tracks simultaneously — one on each day-set — completing two Beginner tracks in a single training period. This is optional and requires strong time management.
Each track runs 3 times per week on its assigned day-set. Choose the batch that fits your lifestyle.
Weekly Structure: Each track meets 3 times per week (Mon/Wed/Fri or Tue/Thu/Sat) for 2.5 hours per session = 7.5 class hours/week. Over 14 weeks, each track delivers 105 class hours.
