The total cost of an Entertainment Connection apprenticeship, including
all placement research, curriculum and training materials, mentor/instructor
compensation, and in-station training, is US $8,450.
If payment is made in full at the apprenticeship's commencement,
a US $1,000 discount is applied, lowering the price to
US $7,450.
Since you will be attending at a Television Studio in your area, you need not incur any extra living expenses.
Tuition is not due until formal acceptance is made by your mentor/instructor, after a mutually acceptable in-Studio interview. There is no charge for an interview.
There is no charge for any additional interviews you may go on.
If you go on interviews and feel that this program is still
not for you, there is no cost or obligation to you.
A financing plan with low monthly payments is available.
Typically, a minimum down payment of US $4,000 is required to
enter the apprenticeship; with monthly payments of US $500 starting
upon commencement at your selected TV station. This is not
an application fee. No money is due until you're accepted
and receive contracts from Entertainment Connection's corporate office.
Entertainment Connection is a workplace based apprenticeship program, and therefore there are no government student loans or grants available. However, private loans are readily available for this tuition amount.
* Financed balances are subject to monthly
finance charges of 1.75% (21% per annum). |
