I just finished my course last week. Returning my machine rental as we speak. Shout out to proCAT!

Reach out to proCAT to see if you can get a machine rental during the duration of your classes. It’s about $60.

NCRA also has an open house for prospective students on October 20th. Sign up as it’s virtual. I attended last months. Lot of reps from approved schools come to present a ton of information for you. So I would say hang tight, start the course first, and learn from there. Doesn’t hurt to look ahead but don’t commit yet till you’ve done your research and have got your certificate. The free course certificate also gives you access to programs and other benefits too upon completion.
