Payment schedule & methods
Tuition installments, pacing flexibility, and what happens if a payment is missed.
Monthly installments
Total program tuition is $13,497 CAD + HST, payable in six (6) monthly installments of $2,249.50 + HST. HST is applied at the prevailing Ontario rate.
The first installment is due upon acceptance and enrolment. Subsequent installments are billed monthly until tuition is paid in full.
Program pacing & flexible completion
The program is designed to be completed within approximately six (6) months.
Students may complete program components at a different pace, including completing the 1,000-hour supervised practicum out of sequence from coursework, subject to approval and placement availability. This flexibility supports readiness, employment obligations, and placement logistics.
Included access & administrative support
Tuition includes access to coursework, instructional delivery, learning platforms, practicum coordination, evaluation, and administrative support for up to twelve (12) months from the official program start date.
Extended enrolment
If a student remains active beyond the twelve-month completion window (for example, due to delayed practicum start or extended program pacing), an Extended Enrolment Fee of $500 + HST per additional month applies.
This supports continued access to Brightspace and institutional learning platforms, practicum coordination and documentation oversight, and ongoing administrative tracking and evaluation support. Extended enrolment fees apply only where the student elects to extend their completion timeline beyond the standard program window.
Good financial standing
Program participation, academic progression, and access to learning platforms require tuition and applicable fees to remain in good standing.
- Payments are processed through the Institute’s authorized payment processor and may include credit card, electronic transfer, or other approved methods.
- If a scheduled payment fails, up to three automated payment attempts may be made, and written notification is issued.
- A 15-day grace period applies following a missed payment. If unresolved, a $250 administrative late fee may be applied and access may be temporarily paused until the account is brought current.
Refunds, withdrawal & deferrals
Clear policies to support planning and institutional accountability.
Refunds, withdrawal & deferrals
Clear policies to support planning and institutional accountability.
Refund policy
Refunds are calculated based on the official program start date, defined as the first scheduled class session, whether or not the student attends.
- Before program start: 100% of tuition paid, less a $500 administrative fee
- Within the first 30 days: Prorated tuition refund, less a $1,000 administrative fee
- After 30 days: No refunds are issued
Administrative fees are non-refundable.
Student withdrawal
A student may withdraw from the program by submitting written notice to the Institute.
Written notice of withdrawal must include the student’s full name, program name, and a clear statement of intent to withdraw. Withdrawal is effective on the date written notice is received by the Institute.
Non-attendance, non-participation, or informal communication with faculty or staff does not constitute withdrawal. Withdrawal does not relieve responsibility for tuition or fees already incurred.
Withdrawal for non-payment
If tuition remains unpaid after reminders and the applicable grace period, access to Brightspace and learning platforms may be paused, and the participant may be administratively withdrawn from the program.
Outstanding tuition and applicable fees remain payable. Administrative withdrawal for non-payment is not disciplinary in nature. Reinstatement may be considered once the account is brought into good standing, subject to program capacity.
Deferrals
Deferrals are reviewed case-by-case and are subject to cohort capacity and placement availability.
- Maximum of two (2) deferrals
- Deferrals apply to the next available cohort only
- $500 administrative deferral fee applies per approved deferral
- Tuition paid carries forward to the deferred cohort
Deferral approval is not automatic and does not pause tuition or administrative obligations already incurred.
Policy updates
The Institute may update policies periodically to reflect academic, institutional, regulatory, or partner placement requirements. Students are notified of material changes that affect program participation.
Additional costs (not included in tuition)
Common expenses beyond tuition (varies by placement and supervision arrangement).

The format, scope, and delivery of training materials may evolve over time in alignment with curriculum development and program updates.
Practicum placement & agency administration
Some practicum settings may require placement-related or administrative fees, depending on site-specific requirements. These costs are determined by the host agency and are assessed on an individual basis.

Clinical supervision is a standard and essential component of psychotherapy training and is not included in tuition.
- Supervision is coordinated separately from tuition billing
- Anticipated cost is approximately $100 per hour
- Actual rates may vary depending on supervisor qualifications, setting, and regional factors
The Institute supports students in identifying appropriate supervision pathways and aims to keep supervision arrangements reasonable and transparent as the program evolves.
