SofTap Trainers provide two days of practice exercises before beginning work on live models. This counts as 16 hours of training. Once completed, you will work together to complete five of each procedure. This will complete 45-60 hours of practical training.

Please note that an apprenticeship is a separate cost of $4500 and completion times will vary depending on your availability and the availability of your trainer and live models.
