What Affects Your Price
Why It's A Range, Not One Flat Number
Two things determine your exact tuition: which program you need, and your individual financial situation. See our Financing Application page for pricing on every program.
-
1
Which Program You Need
Class A, Class B, recertification, and refresher training all require different amounts of instruction, so each is priced differently within the range.
-
2
Funding You Qualify For
WIOA workforce funding, VA education benefits, and grants can reduce your actual out-of-pocket cost. See our Funding & Eligibility page for the full picture.
-
3
Payment Plan vs. Paying in Full
Either way works. We offer flexible payment plans with no long-term contracts, so spreading tuition out doesn't cost you extra.
-
4
Optional One-on-One Coaching
Available at an additional cost for students who want extra pre-test prep or practice on a specific skill, never required, always optional.

Beyond WIOA & VA
Other Ways To Pay
Funding and financing aren't mutually exclusive. Most students end up combining a couple of these.
Flexible Payment Plans
Spread tuition out with no long-term contracts and no penalty for paying on your own schedule.
0% Interest Financing
Ask us about our in-house payment plan option with 0% interest. Spread tuition out without paying extra for the privilege.
Personal Financing Or Loans
Some students finance training through their own bank, credit union, or lender. Worth comparing against other options.
401(k) Funds
Some students use funds from a 401(k) or other retirement account to pay for training. We aren't financial advisors. Check with your plan administrator or a financial professional before deciding if this is right for you.
State & Local Workforce Grants
Beyond WIOA, Florida and local agencies periodically fund workforce training grants for qualifying residents.
Employer Tuition Assistance
If you already have a job lined up or an employer sponsoring your training, ask us about direct billing.
