Below are the full details for both our in-person and live online DAT/OAT Summer 2026 classes. No payment is required to reserve your spot — full payment will be due before class begins. Questions or preference for online vs. in-person? Email me anytime at nancy.steen@gmail.com.
💡 Important Note
For the in-person class, Dr. Jim Romano personally teaches 100% of every session in Staten Island. For the online DAT/OAT class, Dr. Romano teaches the first hour of every session, and then our highly experienced instructor — with us for over 20 years — continues for the remainder. If you wish to be taught exclusively by Dr. Romano, please choose the in-person option.
