There are 4 payment options (all of which come with our job guarantee as long as you meet eligibility requirements). Our two standard payment plans are:
- Monthly Plan: You pay $2,467 per month while you are enrolled in the 3-month program for a total cost of $7,401.

In addition, we have 2 other payment options. These are available by application to qualifying US citizens and permanent residents. If you are not a US citizen or permanent resident, you can still apply for financing with a fully qualifying co-borrower who is a citizen or permanent resident - as long as you both have a US address.
- Deferred Tuition: You pay a $200 deposit upon enrollment to confirm your seat. Then, you’ll pay the remaining tuition ($8,700) only when you land a job using your newly learned skills. You can pay that final balance in 18 monthly installments of $483 per month. The remaining tuition will be waived if you don’t get a job, and maintain eligibility, within six months of graduating!
- Climb Credit loan: Available by application to qualifying US citizens and permanent residents. If you are not a US citizen or permanent resident, you can still apply for financing with a fully qualifying co-borrower who is a citizen or permanent resident - as long as you both have a US address. If approved, you pay a $200 deposit to confirm your seat. You can finance the remaining $8,700 through a loan. You’ll make small interest-only payments for the first 3 months ($46 - $133/mo). After that, you will pay 36 monthly payments of $278 - $328. Learn more here

We also have a Deferred Tuition payment plan. With this payment plan, you can pay an initial upfront deposit ($200) and then not pay anything else until you graduate.
