Tuition Assistance
Thursday, June 25th, 2009Front Range Training is willing to offer a payment plan for UXO Tech 1 course tuition for those in financial need. A deposit of $1,000 is required to reserve your spot in the course regardless of how you decide to pay the balance of the tuition. If you do not expect to be able to pay the remaining balance of $4,750 by completion of the course, you may opt to enter the payment plan. You must opt into this plan at least 2 weeks before of the end of the course. Upon opting into the payment plan the student must:
- a) pay a non-refundable administrative fee of $800
- b) provide bank account information for collection of tuition.
- c) provide a credit card with an available balance of at least $2,000 as backup for collection of tuition.
- d) sign payment plan contract
The OSHA HAZWOPER Certification may also be rolled into this payment plan an additional $100.00 up-front, and an additional $80.00 non-refundable administrative fee.
This allows a student to pay only $1,800.00 up-front to take the course and repay the balance of $4750 over the next 13 months, for a total of 6550.00 for the UXO Tech 1 course. To include the OSHA HAZWOPER Certification course, the up-front cost would be $1980.00, with a balance of $5,150 paid over 11 months of payments (10 @ $500, and the 11th at $150) and a total amount paid of $7,200.
The terms of this payment plan are as follows:
You will be given a 90-day grace period starting at completion of the course before we will collect tuition payments. This is intended to allow you time to secure a job in the UXO field.
On the 91st day after completion of the course, and on the same date of each following month, we will automatically collect a payment of $500.00 directly from your bank account until the balance of the tuition is paid. This is a total of 10 payments, the last of which will be $250.00; if the HAZWOPER Certification course is included, 11 payments, the last of which will be $150.00. If we are unable collect the amount from your bank, you will be contacted. If you are unable to make a sufficient payment within 15 days of the failed payment, we will attempt to collect the payment via the credit card provided, as noted above. Failed payments are subject to a $25.00 fee at the discretion of Front Range Training. If we are unable to collect full payments owed for 90 consecutive days your account will be turned over to a collection agency and associated negative feedback submitted to credit agencies. Furthermore, if tuition payments are unable to be collected, we reserve the right to revoke a student’s Certification as a UXO Tech 1, thus preventing them from working in the field until tuition payments are complete.
We offer this payment plan to allow individuals without the means to pay for the course up-front to pursue this exciting career and repay the tuition in a reasonable amount of time after training. The $500 per month may sounds like a lot now, but it is only 8% of average gross monthly pay for a UXO Tech 1.
A student may choose to pay the balance of their tuition earlier than the 90 days plus 10 months schedule if they so choose. Because there is no interest being charged or any time-related fees, this option would merely provide the student peace of mind that they had satisfied their debt.
