Costs:
Costs vary depending on the class if it is "unit-based" or "fee-based," and whether you are a resident or non-resident. "Unit-based" classes are billed at $26.00 per unit plus student fees. "Fee-based" classes are based on the specific class and number of students enrolled. This type of billing structure is a result of the budget crises facing the State of California and the San Mateo County Community College District.

A material and lab fee is also included for specific classes due to the extensive hands-on time in the lab and on the dynamometers.

Please contact us for the cost of the class you wish to take.
