Training capacity is 42 total graduate students (3 students per class, 6 students per week using concurrent tracks) delivered in 40-hour instructional blocks (5 days, Monday-Friday per class) by 14 course instructors. NAICS code is 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), PSC is U008 (Education/Training—Training/Curriculum Development), and the small-business size standard is $21 million.
