Mine was 15 days

Our class was 2 weeks.

I'm just chiming in because I'm procrastinating studying. My CCA class was 10 months long.

Mine runs for 10 Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. I'm in the middle of the course. Very glad to do it this way since I still work full time evenings as a medical transcriber and need to start this new "career" since transcription is going down the tubes. I work full time evenings. Anyway, there are 8 of us in the class, a nice number. We sometimes get a student making up time from one of the weeknight or weekday classes. One told us her class was so full it was near impossible to get any real hands-on time with the mannequins or beds provided. Our RN instructor is great, very experienced, works full time at a huge LTCF where she'll be taking us pretty soon. Very happy with this arrangement. Good luck to you.

8 weeks 4 days a week from 7-4
