When you choose ARPEC, you choose a future without student load debt.
According to The College Board, students attending a four-year public college can expect to pay an average of $12,000 per year for in-state tuition or $30,000 per year in tuition for an out-of-state institution. Similarly, tuition for trade/technical schools in Florida can cost more than $10,000 per year, plus textbooks and supplies. After paying out all that money in tuition, those students still often find that they have a hard time landing their first job in their field of study because they have no experience.
Enrolling in ARPEC puts your career on a structured five-year path of advancement – both in the classroom and on the job – tuition free.
