Tuition and your VA benefits
How class runs
Every VA-approved program here meets in person at 185 Madison Avenue in Manhattan, with an instructor in the room rather than a recorded lecture. Classes are small, you work on your own machine, and you can ask a question and get an answer in the moment.
- In person in NYC. 185 Madison Avenue, near Madison Square Park, on the 4/6, N/R/W, F/M and PATH.
- Recordings if you miss one. Available for 30 days after each session, so a missed class is recoverable.
- Retake free within a year. Sit any class in the program again at no cost, for any reason.
- An SCO handles the VA side. One of our School Certifying Officials submits your enrollment certification so you are not chasing it.
