Fees
Tuition for Part 1. Bicycle Assembly and Tuning is $980 plus Goods & Services Tax of 5%
Tuition for Part 2. Professional Bicycle Repair is $980 plus GST of 5%
Tuition for the Bicycle Repair Practicum is $980 plus GST of 5%
Taking all three courses costs $2940 plus GST
Residence costs for each course are $200 plus GST of %5
Residence for all three plus the extra days of practice is $600 plus GST
Total Course cost including residence is: $3540 + $177 GST
There are four spots 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 and the GST needs to be paid a month before the course start.
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 is called Bicycle Repair Practise. The motel they recommend does not let students cook there. And you have to commute to the classrooms. I offer full cooking facilities. The bike school is just a few steps from the 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).
