Makeup days will be offered on Fridays/Saturdays and are required for any missed regular class instruction. Students are only allowed to miss 10% of the course which must be made up on the makeup days. Any student who exceed the allowed attendance with be withdrawn from the course. This is an apprentice license which means upon completing both 600hr classes for a total of 1200 hours, students will be able to sit for the state exams.
