Individual Course Training Costs

Course costs are based on the average number of hours it takes a student to complete the course, and may vary from student to student according to their capability and motivation. Financial aid may be available to assist with these costs, but applying for aid must be done well in advance. Flight costs are in addition to tuition, room, and board. VA students may request a cost sheet from Veteran & Nontraditional Student Services, as the VA will only fund minimum training requirements and VA students are required to cover additional costs.
