5 Day Program
Any attendee of our 3 day course in San Francisco or Houston can stay an additional 2 days to use our workstations to complete their training using CTA Mentor. This program requires the student to work late nights in our clinic the 3rd, 4th, and 5th day of the course.
The decision to do the 5 day program usually comes down to whether or not you have access to a workstation at your clinic. Most students find that they learn CTA more effectively if they complete CTA Mentor on their own time, in a relaxed environment, and when their brains are not tired from 3 days of learning new skills. In addition, we will lease workstations to you at cost to complete your training.
