The program includes classroom and laboratory instruction and is listed as running for six weeks. The page also states that the course is based on 50 hours of instruction, creating a duration discrepancy that is excluded from this description. Students are encouraged to pursue a national certification after graduation, although no specific credential is identified. The listed admission requirements include a pre-admission test or proof of high school completion, identification, health documentation, immunization or waiver documentation, health insurance or waiver documentation, and a minimum age of 17; these requirements appear under a heading for a different program and are therefore not applied here.
