What 90/10 means
Of your 1,200 required clock hours, 1,080 are hands-on — real services on real, paying clients, under instructor guidance. Only 120 hours are classroom and theory.
Why it matters
Graduates from hands-on-heavy programs walk into interviews already comfortable on a live floor — they’ve built a client log, a working speed, and a portfolio, not just passed a written test.
