Note that most courses are one-week courses - approximately 40 hours. The course labelled with a single asterisk (*) will be a 4-day course over 40 hours. Courses with a double asterisk (**) will include a computer lab component. Several courses are less than a week, and the price reflects that. The daily schedule is 8 a.m. to approximately 12 noon, followed by a lunch break, and then continues with afternoon sessions from approximately 12:45 to 4:45 p.m. each day.
