"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it." - Pablo Picasso

A Three-Part Training

In each location, the entire KMI training of 54 days (equaling 6 sessions of either 8 or 10 days each) is offered over a period of 9 months to a year.

Students may go through in one location with the same group (which is how most people do it), or each part may be taken separately in different locations (as long as each part is taken in order and the process is completed within 3 years).
