Tuition

Special Payment Methods
NCP is glad to accept payment by third parties (employers, companies or agencies). To pay for classes, the third party must agree through submission of a purchase order or statement on company letterhead that the company will agree to pay all fees regardless of the student’s attendance or performance. Payment arrangements must be made prior to the start of the class.
