Class and field training are in session Monday through Thursday (occasionally Friday) 8:00 AM−4:30 PM. Included in this time frame are two 15-minute breaks (one morning, one afternoon) and a 30-minute lunch break. NLC reserves the right to adjust the daily scheduled course hours as deemed necessary by NLC staff.

California students only: If a schedule change is deemed necessary, the change proposed will only be executed after receiving the consent of a minimum of 90 percent of the students enrolled. Any student who does not consent to the change will be issued a full refund.

Course Numbering System

Course numbers consist of a three or four character prefix followed by a four digit number sequence. The prefix represents a course category. The number sequence is broken into three parts: the first digit represents the level of the course, the second represents the version of the course, and the third and fourth numbers are sequential and build on each other as courses are added to a particular category.
