Tuition
Free to study. Pay only for your credential.
Every lesson, virtual lab and exam is free. When you finish a program, pay to have your certificate or diploma issued with a verifiable credential number, unless your program is fully free.
Credential tuition by program level
CBET and the five micro-certificates — NFPA 70E, Lockout/Tagout, Hospital Infection Control (ICRA), Electrical Safety Analyzer / NFPA 99, and Digital Multimeter & Oscilloscope Diagnostics — are 100% free, including their verifiable credentials.
| Program level | Tuition |
|---|---|
| Certificates | $99 once, or $35/month |
| Associate degrees (A.A.S.) | $99/month |
| Bachelor's degrees (B.S.) | $149/month |
| Master's degrees (M.S.) | $199/month |
Already enrolled? You're grandfathered.
Anyone who enrolled in a course before October 11, 2026 never pays for a credential — for any program they take, now or later.

Employer reimbursement
We don't run scholarships, grants or hardship funds today, so we won't imply otherwise. What we can do is keep the paperwork simple: many employers reimburse technical coursework, and we'll send your HR team a program summary, an invoice, and a receipt for what you've paid.
