Tuition
We strive to make our program accessible and affordable for all participants. Currently, the cost of providing our program is $1,800 per class member. Local government agencies and businesses are invoiced this full amount for the participants they send. To ensure inclusivity, we have set a reduced tuition fee of $1,200 for participants from community non-profits, small businesses, and individuals who pay for the program themselves. We understand that financial constraints can be a barrier, so we also offer additional financial assistance for those who request it and demonstrate need.
We recognize that there are various ways to cover the tuition fees. Participants have the option to pay for the program themselves, or have their employer, business, professional firm, club, organization, or a combination of these entities cover the costs.
Our goal is to provide a flexible payment structure and support system that accommodates different financial situations, ensuring that individuals and organizations can benefit from our program regardless of their financial circumstances.
