Option 3: Pay-as-you-go
If you would prefer to pay for the various components of your course of study as you complete them, you can choose our “pay-as-you-go” enrollment option. Your registration fee of $595 is due upon registration, and then additional course, Mini-workshop, and Quarterly Skills Share Session fees will be due as you register for them. These subsequent payments after your initial registration for the program will typically be taken via Eventbrite, but we can create invoices free of charge if you would prefer.
