The Clinical Somatic Education Professional Training Program is a 3 semester long program. Generally, the semesters run one year apart; for example, one semester each summer for 3 summers. Thus, a typical course of the complete Training Program takes approximately 2 calendar years from start to finish.

If each of the 3 semesters of a particular class of the Training Program are distributed over several months (in other words, in smaller increments of greater frequency), the 3 semesters will usually still be spread over the span of 2 or more calendar years. This is done to allow for the proper amount of time for effective development of the skills being taught.
