Paying for it

Three ways students cover it

Paid in full

Before the program starts

The standard arrangement — tuition is settled before the first session. Cash, check, or card.

Four installments

Spread across the program

$500 before you start, then four payments of $1,157.25. No credit application and no interest — it is simply the balance divided across the program.

CareCredit

Monthly financing

If you would rather stretch payments beyond the thirteen weeks, CareCredit covers the full program. We will walk you through the application.

A full payment schedule and terms are provided when you enrol.

Ask before you commit.

Most people want to know the number and whether the schedule fits around their job. Both are a short phone call.
