// FORMAT 02 / IN-PERSON

Five days.
One room.

Attend a fixed cohort at one of our regional training campuses. Cohorts capped at 16 for hands-on intensity. Includes lab kit, working meals, and the CAS-005 exam voucher.

In-Person is the format for individual practitioners who want the discipline of a fixed schedule, the energy of a real room, and the chance to network with a small cohort of peers at the same career stage.

Cohorts run year-round in our regional training centers. Every cohort caps at 16 candidates so the instructor can give every person real, individualized attention during labs. The room is wired for hands-on work, every seat gets a workstation, monitor, and isolated lab network.

Tuition includes lodging assistance, working meals all five days, the CAS-005 exam voucher, and 90 days of post-bootcamp lab access. Many candidates pass within two weeks of finishing.
