Admissions
To enroll in classes, please contact the school you wish to attend by phone to set up an appointment. It is recommended you tour the school to have a better understanding of the classes before registering. You must be at least 17 year old and a high school graduate or have a GED/TASC diploma. You will need to bring a copy of your high school diploma, transcript or GED/TASC in order to enroll. In addition, there is a $100 Registration Fee due at that time. This will reserve your place in a class. For potential students who are 17 years old, you will need a parent or guardian to sign the Enrollment Agreement.
The first day of class, payment for the Tool Kit (+ sales tax) and 1/2 the Tuition are due. Please check the catalog for requirements for payment of the second half of Tuition.

Financial Assistance
We do not have a contract with ACCES-VR or the Veteran’s Administration and can no longer accept payments from them. Our course is less than 600 hours and, therefore, not eligible for Federal financial aid.
While we are not a lending institution, we can provide payments through Tuition Finance Corp. Essentially we are holding the loan and TFC services the loan. At this time, we require a $2000.00 down payment, 12 payments beginning 1 month after starting class, 6% interest to cover the service charges, a co-signer and an automatic payment method on file.
Alternative methods of financing include: personal bank loan, 529 savings, signature loan through credit union, home equity loans, borrowing from a family member, PayPal credit, credit card.
