We are committed to each student being given caring attention and supervised instruction. In all practical classes we guarantee the ratio of faculty to students will never exceed 1 :20 per instructor for 7 tables. If we have more than 20 students in a class, we will provide a massage therapy instructor to assist the primary instructor. For lecture, classes will have one instructor to 36 students. This is in accordance with TAC§140.347(g)(2)
