ONLINE THEORY FUNDAMENTALS 110 HOURS
The Online Theory Fundamentals consists of online video presentations,

During your first day, there will be a one-hour Zoom meeting with your instructor guiding you through the PivotPoint LAB online platform and what you can
expect during your online training.
To ensure students stay on track and receive guidance from their instructor, weekly half-hour Zoom meetings are scheduled throughout the program. These meetings provide students with the opportunity to ask questions, clarify their understanding, and receive personalized feedback to enhance their learning experience.
