Train in Trades Tuition and Fees

The School District covers the cost of tuition. Though, there is a cost/fee associated with each course for the purchase of materials.  Successful acceptance into the program will be confirmed upon receipt of the non-refundable materials fee. This is required to indicate commitment and reserve a spot in the program.
 

Course expenses are for items students take away with them at the end of the course include
the following:

  • Pro-Cook: Uniform
  • Carpentry: Visual Vest, Workbook, tool belt and tools
  • Automotive Technician: Overalls and resource books
    We are awaiting the exact cost and will provide that once the applicant has been accepted to the program.

To help with budgeting, 2023 costs were:

  • Pro-Cook fees were $100 plus $100
    deposit for knife kit (this will be returned if the kits are returned without missing
    equipment)
  • Carpentry $460
  • Automotive $650

We expect the costs to go up slightly for the next year.

Should the costs be prohibitive, please contact the career coordinator.
