How It Works (Step-by-Step)

  1. Choose Your Program
    Decide between Certificate (fastest path) or Apprenticeship (more reps + business build).

  2. Pick a Payment Path

    • Certificate: pay 50% deposit today; balance due 1 week prior

    • Apprenticeship: select an in-house plan or apply with SweetPay

  3. Secure Your Spot

    • Certificates: your training date is held once the deposit is paid

    • Apprenticeships: your seat is reserved once your plan is confirmed

  4. Finish Payments On Time

    • Certificates: remaining 50% due 7 days before Day 1

    • Apprenticeships: follow your monthly schedule

 

Policies & Notes

  • Deposits are non-refundable and applied to tuition.

  • If you need to move dates, deposits are typically transferable within a defined window (see program page).

  • Late or missed payments may delay access to training.

  • For certificates, in-house financing is not offered. Use SweetPay if you need a monthly plan.

  • All financing is subject to lender terms and approval.

 

Which Path Fits Your Budget?

  • Want the lowest upfront cost? Try SweetPay ($0 down, if approved).

  • Want the simplest plan? Certificates: 50% now, 50% later.

  • Want predictable monthly payments + deeper training? Choose an Apprenticeship and select an in-house or Flex plan.
