LOANS

If you do not qualify for any funding/sponsorship, you can always look towards obtaining a loan through the bank.  For financial assistance, contact your local financial institution (bank) to apply for a student line of credit or personal loan.  Registered Education Funds can be applied.

Please Note:  the HEO training programs we offer are under the required minimum program length in order to qualify for a student loan through the government.


***IMPORTANT***

If you are seeking funding or financing to cover your program costs and are approved, the School requires a letter of confirmation in order to officially enrol you in the program.  

This confirmation will be due 1 week prior to the program start date, to allow enough notice to any enrolled students, in the event that the program should be cancelled due to a low enrolment rate.
