PAYMENT AND FUNDING OPTIONS

Participants may pay the program cost upfront, use an approved TEC In-House Payment Plan, or apply approved scholarship or employer-sponsorship funds toward their balance.

Cancellation rights, refunds, and adjustments following withdrawal are explained in the Enrollment Agreement and TEC Catalog. Review those documents before enrolling.

TEC's In-House
Payment Plans

Spread the $6,500 program cost over 12, 24, 36, or 48 months through an approved TEC In-House Payment Plan.

    The $400 in enrollment-related charges is paid separately before the first program session. Each monthly payment includes a $10.42 finance charge while an unpaid program-cost balance remains.

    For Spring 2027, the first payment is due February 2, 2027 — four weeks after the program begins. Your signed Payment Plan Agreement identifies your monthly payment amount and recurring due date.

*Amounts assume the full $6,500 program cost is financed and all scheduled monthly finance charges apply. Monthly payments include the $10.42 finance charge. The separate $400 in enrollment-related charges is additional. The final payment is adjusted for rounding.

 

PAY EARLY WITHOUT PENALTY

You may make additional payments or pay the remaining program-cost balance early without penalty. Additional payments and scholarship or sponsorship credits reduce your balance and ordinarily shorten the payment schedule. No future monthly finance charges apply after the program-cost balance is paid in full.

 

KEEP YOUR TRAINING AND PAYMENTS

MOVING FORWARD

Participants who meet TEC’s completion requirements may receive their TEC Certificate of Completion while remaining current under an approved payment plan. Receiving the certificate does not cancel remaining payment obligations.

If your balance is reduced by funding or adjusted following withdrawal, TEC will document the applicable payment amount and revised schedule. Cancellation, withdrawal, and refunds remain governed by your Enrollment Agreement.

A separate signed Payment Plan Agreement is required.

Other funding options

We found some other options for helping with program costs that may be helpful as well. Do your own research to make sure any of these or TEC's In-House Payment Plan is a good option for you personally.
