The program offers full-time and part-time classes, all of which have transitioned from virtual instruction to in-person learning at the Remington building. The program has invested in necessary equipment and resources to ensure a safe and effective learning environment, including the purchase of mannequins, large screens, and a washer and dryer for reusable personal protective equipment.
