PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS
It's okay if you can't pay the full tuition up front! We offer installment agreements that can be used for any of our courses. Full payment for course must be made before commencement of course.
PAYMENT METHODS
We have several options for submitting your tuition payment. You can purchase one of our courses online, you can set up a reoccurring installment plan over the phone, or you can send payment via response to an invoice (phone, CC online, bank transfer).
TOOLS NOT INCLUDED
Tools are not included in the cost of tuition. Each course has its own tool list and the costs associated with it. This information can be found on our course selection pages. Tool costs are subject to change at any time of the enrollment process.
ADDITIONAL FEES
In addition to your tuition, there will be an application fee for all students--$45/on campus, $25/online. This fee covers on campus background checks and enrollment processing. There will also be a one-time fee of $150 for all on-campus students.
Frequently Asked Questions
We offer the option of payment plans and private financing! Both are a great way to break the full tuition and cost of tools up into more affordable amounts. We are not able to offer financial aid in the form of loans or scholarships at this time.
Tool kits are instrument and course specific. The cost of tools ranges from $1500-$4500 for each course. Kits include specialized tools for each type of instrument and repair category. Some courses like the woodwinds have a base kit for tools you use on all woodwinds that you only need to buy once and then a much smaller add-on for each specific woodwind instrument like flute or clarinet.
If you already do instrument repair or have taken other courses, you may already have some of the tools required for the kit. In that case, we work with you to send only what you need and this can lower the tool cost significantly!
When you study in person, at CIOMIT, we charge a student supply fee of $150, but tool kits are not required since we already have everything you need. When you study online, a tool kit is required since you will need them to learn the repairs.
Yes, you can schedule and pay for more than one power course at a time.
Tuition is due prior to the start of any class.
If an on campus class is cancelled by the student prior to the start of any class, tuition (less a $150.00 fee) will be refunded. If class has started, tuition refund is pro-rated according to the untaught lessons. Once tuition is paid for an online course, the videos and materials are unlocked for a year. There is no refund for these courses due to the extended time to use the materials. If you need an extension of time, please contact us to make arrangements. If CIOMIT has to cancel any course, tuition is refunded.
On Campus full time students have two entry points per year: usually September and February. Power Courses can be scheduled any month of the year but are subject to Instructor availability and the shop calendar. Online courses are available to schedule at any time!
For On Campus students we keep the students to Instructor ratio purposefully small! There will be only 2-3 students per instructor at the maximum. This allows for plenty of one on one access to the instructor.
The enrollment process for our On Campus program can go as quickly as you desire but is dependent on the course availability. It can take 1-3 weeks to complete the process.
The enrollment process for our Online Program can take between 4-6 weeks. This process takes more time because of the necessity of shipping tools which can take 4-6 weeks.
No, completing an application and starting the process is totally free!
