TRAINING PROGRAM 

 

Please note that while we do offer a Payment Plan option- this requires a cash deposit, and in some cases, a co-signer as it is a legal contractual agreement. There is an $800.00 administrative fee for all payment plan contracts.  The current deposit is $2,500.00.  The balance is paid over an 8 month period of time. Prospective and admitted students who will be exploring this option are encouraged to start their registration process early, as Admission is not confirmed until deposits are in and contracts are fully signed. All balances must be paid regardless of withdrawal from the program.
