If you're expired, you'll need to do the entire 110 hr course. Check your local junior college. Typically a semester, but I did an accelerated 6-week, weekends only program.

NJS, I'm another one that has experiences at odds with that you've said. No class I've heard of says no to money. And even certification in California (at least) is suprisingly easy. I even recerted with CEU's from New Jersey one year; a seperate time (several years later) they waived the CEU portion, figuring that full time medical school was sufficient.
