Fees
Tuition for Part 1. Bicycle Assembly and Tuning is $1127 plus Goods & Services Tax of 5%
Tuition for Part 2. Professional Bicycle Repair is $1127 plus GST of 5%
Tuition for the Bicycle Repair Practicum is $1127 plus GST of 5%
Taking all three courses costs $3381 plus GST of 5%
Residence costs for each course are $200 plus GST of %5
Residence cost for all three parts & the extra days of practice is $600 plus GST of 5%
Total Course cost including residence is: $3981 + $199.05 GST = 4180.05
There are FOUR spots available in each course. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis and does not become complete until a $500 deposit has been received. Your deposit is non-refundable unless you withdraw in enough time to allow another person to register in the same courses. If that happens I will transfer your deposit if you register in a later course.
The balance of the course fees & GST need to be paid ONE MONTH before the course begins.
My price changes this year reflect increased costs which include a whopping 65% increase in Insurance which started last October 2019. I'm trying to catch up here.
The main U.S. course which I based the Canadian one on, both in Toronto & on Quadra Island, does NOT include the all-important practical component, which I called Bicycle Repair & Practise. The motel they recommend does NOT ALLOW STUDENTS TO COOK. You have to COMMUTE to the classrooms. I offer full cooking facilities. The Bike School is steps from the student residence. And yet, this course, held on beautiful Quadra Island, with bike trails starting from your front door, still costs less than half for the same course components offered in Colorado (translated into Canadian dollars). If you added the costs of eating out at restaurants, the difference would be huge.
