We encourage students who may be considering an alternative program to compare the cost of that program against the program hours they will receive. Some comparable programs appear to offer reduced fees on an annual basis while also offering reduced program hours, making the cost of training per hour much higher. In addition to offering a higher number of program hours at a reduced cost, the College’s schedule allows time for summer employment or artistic endeavours and is completed in 20 months.
