It is also your choice as to how many sessions per day you would like to do...
From experience it normally benefits the student to do 2sessions in a day (4 hours) for 2 days and then completing the course (final session) on the 3rd day or even taking a days break and completing the course on the 4th day!!
 
It is also advised to complete the course without leaving too many days in between due to muscle memory loss and the prevention of having to repeat skills already mastered.
 
NB!! Upfront payment of 50% and the balance on completion of the course.

THANKS!
