Technical Service Fee
A Technical Service Fee of $199.00 is a
one-time initial fee to set up all of the technical services necessary
to carry you through the entire course of training. The Technical fee
must accompany your enrollment application, and upon acceptance of your
enrollment it is Non-Refundable.
Tuition
The Academy offers
this vocational course of instruction on a low monthly installment plan
tailored for students who seek training to enter the Hearing Health Care
field as a Hearing Instrument Specialist. Full details are included in
your information packet (sent to you instantly when you fill out the
form on the right) or please discuss this with an admissions advisor to
review all costs and fee’s associated with this program.
Bond of Trust
Although the Academy is a state licensed and approved career school, it
does not depend upon State or Federal funding and is a for-profit
career school. That means simply that the Academy depends upon your
tuition installments for its ability to provide educational and support
services, including our outreach program to employers.
Qualified
students enter into a personal bond of trust with the Academy: the
Academy pledges to you that it will never limit your rate of progress in
your training, or access to any of the educational support, activities
and services. In return you pledge to make your low, monthly
installments promptly. It is a personal bond of trust that enables you
to complete your training as quickly as possible graduate, schedule and
take your state certification examination, find your high-paying career
opportunity and be well onto your career path before you have paid your
tuition in full. That’s what we mean by trust.
Students can
graduate in as little as 3 to 6 months. Yes, your monthly responsibility
will remain until your tuition is paid in full, but together our bond
of trust will have changed your future, provided a handsome income and
ease the tuition burden along the way. We will be there for you every
step of the way on that path.
Additional Costs, not in the tuition fee
Text books and supplies for hands-on practice in developing skills
necessary for producing earmolds for use with hearing instruments are
not included in the tuition. Students can successfully begin the
training relying upon provided materials available from the Academy for
free download, and the video lectures, but the required text books are
necessary references linked to the study plan. The supplies are
associated with latter chapters in the training, but should be purchased
to keep from delaying your training progress. They can be purchased
through the Academy. These costs are not included in your tuition and
are Non-Refundable.
When you are learning fitting and testing
skills, and when preparing for your state licensing examination, you
will want to either buy or rent a calibrated audiometer for practice and
for your actual use in your state examination. The cost and
availability vary with location and brand; however, rental is generally
low and we provide a national third-party rental source when the time
comes. Since employers normally provide necessary on-the-job equipment,
we suggest the low cost rental option until you know the direction your
career is going to take.
Lastly, when you are ready to sit for
your state licensure examination, your state will have fees associated
with the examinations. The states vary in their approach to the fees and
charges, ranging from a few hundred dollars, to over a thousand
dollars. Click Here to learn more about the “State License Exams”.
Your Decision
Your enrollment decision and the resulting financial responsibility can
be considered a personal investment in your future and a promise of
lifetime benefits; however, we always recommend that you sit with your
family and discuss your future goals, how your dedication to study may
impact their lives and activities for a while, and how your installment
responsibility may affect your family. There may be some sacrifices
involved. If so, everyone should be on board with your plan for the
future and its goals. Please call us if you have concerns and wish to
discuss your future.
