Program details to confirm

The table labels the full ESL program as 960 clock hours, not a fixed number of weeks: $10,000 tuition plus $520 instructional materials, a $300 technology fee and a $100 registration fee, totaling $10,920. The separate living-expense estimate is $26,260. Another fee list shows $100 for application, I-20 processing and placement assessment but does not say whether this is the table's $100 registration fee or an additional charge; confirm before paying. A $50 late-payment fee may apply if tuition and fees are not paid at least five business days before the start. The program's week count is not published, so no weekly tuition rate is derived.

Do you need a visa for this program?

For this course at North America Technical Institute ESL (NATI ESL), a weekly hour count does not by itself establish permission to study as a visitor. Language training generally uses the student route; the visitor exception is limited to a short recreational, non-credit course during a tourist visit. Confirm the actual course and your circumstances before booking.
