Fees

  • 6-Week Course: $4,100.00.

In order to train and perform assignments with professional equipment, it is suggested that the following be provided by the student

  • Computer, preferably laptop (approx. cost: $1,200);
  • Video Camera, preferably with night vision (approx. cost: $700).

It is impossible to give a close price due to the constant changing and value. In our opinion the best way to look at this is to get the best equipment that can be bought, NOT the cheapest, as these will not give the quality of picture etc required by the courts, and, will be obsolete long before the better quality equipment.

*All Prices & Class contents are Subject to Change*
