» Transportation
» Disability supports
» Other living and training costs

Those who qualify may have some or all the above costs covered within the Better Jobs Ontario.

Payment Plans
Flexible plan:
We offer a flexible payment plan for tuition fees, allowing students to pay in installments over a period of up to 6 months. This option helps ease the financial burden, giving students the opportunity to spread out their payments while ensuring that tuition is paid in full within the allotted time frame.
