Avid CNA School requires at least 10% down payment. Students have the option to pay the tuition fee in full or installment basis. No interest is charged for using the installment mode of payment. Other expenses are not included in the installment payment plans. Students with balances remaining in their accounts will not be allowed to take their final examinations until all fees have been paid. Final payments should be in the form of cash or money order. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Some employers give their employees a Tuition Reimbursement benefit based on certain criteria. Students must check with their employer if this type of benefit is available to them. Payment for educational expenses through this scheme may be done in 2 ways: Direct Billing – Secure a letter from your employer authorizing and describing the conditions of the arrangement. Avid CNA School will issue an invoice to your employer for payment; employer sends the check directly to the school. Reimbursement – Student will cover the educational cost on his/her own then receive reimbursement from the employer following the guidelines set by their company. It is assumed that students are responsible for any portion of the educational expenses and fees that are not paid by the employers. |
