Inside the worksheet
The questions to settle before enrolling
Use the same questions for two or three programs. Mark what you cannot verify as unknown, then follow up with each school.
Count the full cost
Compare tuition, separate fees, materials, travel, makeup sessions, and what you must pay before training starts.
Make a dated decision
Check your non-negotiables first. Save written answers, note unanswered questions, and record why you chose a program.
