• To receive our tuition discount above, you will need to pay the full tuition amount 4 weeks before the start date of the class. Otherwise, you can pay $1,500 for every 3-month class. For example, if you decide to study for 9 months, you can pay $1,500 for 3 months at the start of each 3-month class and end up paying $4,500 after 9 months ($1,500 x 3 = $4,500), or you can pay the full amount for 9 months 4 weeks before the first day of class and only pay $4,000 ($4,500 - $4,000 = $500 saved).
