The total course registration fee is $6,400 if you do not utilize either the early registration or group discount detailed below.

The registration fee covers your participation in both Phases I & II (Practicum), access to the course website, and Faculty mentorship throughout the duration of the program.
A $600.00 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your space in the course. This amount will be deducted from your remaining course registration fee amount. See other course registration options below:
Early Registration: If payment is made in full one month before the course start, the early bird price is $5,900.00.
Group Discount: $5,900.00 per person if 4 or more participants apply together and are accepted into the program. Payment must be made in full a month before the course start, to receive the discount. Please note on the application that you are applying as a group and list the other individuals who are part of your group.
