Why is 1st Coast Maritime training more expensive than the other schools I have looked at? |
||||
It's really not, in fact we are less expensive with more to offer. Here's why: Other"ABC" schools advertise thier tuition rate as the cost of the class. Unfortunately, once you enroll and start class (which is after the refund date) they will inform you of other fees and items that you will need to find, purchase and pay for... Maybe a simple Breakdown Chart will help prove our point |
