All courses are taught by trained professionals in a positive atmosphere at Long Island University's C.W. Post Campus and/or at our new Glen Cove site.

Courses meet for 10 weeks in the Spring and in the Fall and students have a choice of attending a 40-hour program in the evenings or a 30-hour program on Saturdays.
