    How to Apply

    Applicants will begin the process by contacting the school to schedule an appointment. The applicant will fill out an Application for Admissions and have a personal interview with the Admissions Office and the Financial Aid Office. The process usually takes approximately an hour, during which various aspects of training, programs offered, tuition, financing, and enrollment conditions and requirements are explained to the applicant.

    Applicants must write a short paragraph about their goals and objectives as part of their application.

    If qualified, applicants will receive a call from Admissions Office and are given a start date after filling out all the necessary financial forms and will be provided with further details regarding orientation sessions. Applicants could observe classes before making a decision to enroll if they desire.
