Other programs often condense Basic Training into just two sessions.
Research on learning and training shows that “after two days of training, the ability to retain new information declines rapidly.”

In this program, the four training sessions are distributed over a twelve‑week period, with each session scheduled four to five weeks apart. This spacing provides participants time to practice new skills and review course materials between sessions.

Spacing the sessions in this way reinforces learning and supports long‑term integration. Clinicians can apply what they’ve learned in real settings, receive feedback, and refine their procedural skills to ensure proper application.

Consequently, dividing the training into four sessions promotes optimal learning, skill development, and integration of new knowledge.
