Financial Policies  Tuition: Average cost is based on a rate of $140 per day of training. CSES programs are usually paid as each event occurs. A 5% discount is available for entire-program pre-payment of modular programs. No discount is given for pre-payment of "fast track" full-time programs. Tuition is for an entire program, not a segment of a program. If a student misses a segment (day or module) of a program, he or she is still obligated to pay for the class. Payment plans are available on a limited basis. Generally, scholarships and work-study assistance is not available. To request a payment plan arrangement, send a letter with the application, proposing a schedule of payments. This proposal will be reviewed during the admission process and will either be accepted or an alternative will be proposed. No interest is charged on payment plans. Financial aid and payment plans are not available for applicants paying for other professional training running concurrently with the CSES event. Fees: There are no additional fees associated with the core program. Make-up classes may require additional payment. Certification in either Polarity or Craniosacral Therapy requires private sessions to be received outside of class, for additional costs. Additional events from CSES or another provider, may be necessary for APTA certification, requiring additional fees. These include Anatomy and Physiology special classes (average $120 per day, for those with no prior A&P training), Practice Supervision classes (average $20 per hour) and others. Please consult with the director of your program for specific information on your situation. Note that Polarity Therapy and Craniosacral Therapy practitioner certification comes from APTA and CSTA/NA, respectively, not CSES. APTA and CSTA/NA Membership and Certification Application Fees are separate from costs of the CSES program. The BCST designation (Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist) comes from CSES based on its association with the IABT (see www.biodynamic-craniosacral.org) and requires no additional fees.
