Students have to register themselves with the chiropractic council [that will be in different names in different countries] after the registration the council will examine your qualification to do the degree. Later on, the council will allow you to do the degree in an accredited school for chiropractic. This degree takes a maximum of 4 plus 1 year to do the full degree as the medical students do their degree. There are post-graduation options also available to do it more. They can take the specialist in some special categories. So the myth that weekly class is completely wrong.
