Only $325 for a 27 hour program, why is it so Cheap? Simple, we are a privately owned company and we only need 3 students to cover the cost of instructors (example, we can pay our instructors up to $35 an hour and there are 27 hours of instruction which is a total cost of $1080). Unlike other companies, the owners live here in Santa Clarita and are vested partners with the SCV schools and businesses.
How To Enroll

This price puts quality instruction within the reach of many students who might otherwise have been unable to benefit from such a program.
