Syllabus & Educational Levels
There are 4 separate levels of education offered at the Academy. The 100, 200, and 300 level courses include a mix of lectures and work on skulls and live horses. Each level consists of 100 hours broken down into two 50 hour weeks.
It is required that students pass written exams at the end of each level before they can enroll in the next course, beginning with the second level. For example, at the end of the 200 level course, the student must pass the exam before he/she can return for the 300 level course. This system is designed to ensure that students have an adequate level of understanding before they can progress through the program.
After successful completion of the level 300 course and test, students are eligible to attempt certification at the 400 level class.
