Level I – III The total cost of our Level I-III program is $5,200.00. We kindly require an initial payment before class begins of $2,500.00. We would like your initial payment followed by eleven monthly payments of $245.50. Your first monthly payment is due on the very first day of class. We prefer and initial payment of $2,500.00 before class starts. If you wait until the first day of class to make any payments then your initial payment is due along with your first monthly payment on that first day of class.
Enrolling in levels separately
Level I Cost is $1,400.00 and includes 3 books: Structure Function of the Human Body, Tappan's Handbook of Healing Massage Techniques, and The Anatomy Coloring Book. There is an initial payment of $800.00 due before class starts or before September 1st. Two monthly payments due are $300.00 on the first day of class and another payment in October.

Initial payment of $1,400.00 is due before the first class starts or before September 1st. Option to pay four monthly payments of $350.00 are due beginning the first day of class and are due on the first day of each month (September, October, November, December) The total payment will be ($1400/Level I + $1400/Level II = $2800) and must be paid prior to the midterm exam.
* No special pricing or discounts available for Levels I or II.

Other Payment Options
We welcome any kind of creative payment plan you like but we require the levels are paid for as you complete them. We require an initial payment minimum of $800.00 for any class any level. Then you can divide the remaining balance of your payments by the number of payment dates left in the class. For example if you would like to make an initial minimum payment of $800.00 for Levels I-III then your remaining balance of $5,200.00 will be $4,400.00 divided into 11 monthly payments of $400.00. Or say if you would like to make an initial pay of $1,500.00 then again the remaining balance of $3,700.00 can be divided by 11 monthly payments of $336.36. We recommend an initial payment of $2,500.00 or more to keep your monthly payments low.
Early Enrollment Discounts
"Complete Enrollment"= When all forms, the initial payment, your phone interview and when you have been informed by one of our staff that you are officially accepted then you are completely enrolled. If you are applying for an early enrollment discount; even if you have one piece of paper missing, or "some one did not send that recommendation letter" or waiting for another document then you can not meet the early enrollment qualification. So we advise you to please inform your constituents to send info on time. We will not make any exceptions to complete enrollment. All enrollment materials and an initial payment of $2500.00 has to be at the school before the deadline. Postmarked, e-mailed or faxed on the deadline day will not qualify. There are no discounts for levels I and II. All discounts will only be applied to level III enrollees tuition after they begin Level III in Janurary.
May 1st Early Bird Discount – Be completely enrolled before May 1st with a minimum $2500.00 initial payment and receive $400.00 off your tuition payments when you enter level III.
August 1st Early Enrollment Discount – Be completely enrolled before August 1st with a minimum $2,500.00 initial payment and receive $250.00 off your tuition payments when you enter level III.
Special Family Discounts –We have enjoyed many mother and daughters, brothers and sisters, and fathers and sons enrolling together. We can offer a break for two or more family (immediate family) members enrolling at the same time, or a family member of a past graduate may receive a special discount determined at the time of their enrollment by the director. We sometimes will consider special needs situations.. To qualify for a special discount complete enrollment is required by September 1st. Students can only receive one discount for example they can not receive a family discount and an early enrollment discount. Please feel free to ask us at the time of your enrollment.
