Current license since = the date the California DMV issued the school's current occupational license (public record). A school that re-licensed under a new owner or business entity shows the newer date, so it is a license-record fact, not years in business. Prices and hours are as stated on each school's own website or listing and change without notice; confirm before booking. Per hour = stated package price divided by package hours.
