How does your school teach your curriculum?
We teach using many layers. Step #1 is A Priori and step #2 is A Posteriori. In step #1 a priori, we use a textbook, a workbook, Milady's online test prep, theory classes, handouts, online resources, and demonstrations. This gets the information into your mind. Then, in step #2 a posteriori, YOU must apply what you have learned. We suggest that you put this information into use within 24 hours. In doing this you put these skills into your hands. Simply sitting through a class but not putting what you learn into direct application does not teach you a skill that you will own, you simply borrow it for the length of the class. This "a priori / a posteriori" technique teaches you skills at a much deeper level so that you can be proficient in these skills after you graduate from your program.
Do you take FAFSA?
No. We do not take JTPA, DVR, Nine Star, Signet Ring, FAFSA, or Tlingit / Haida native corporation funding.
Each year we get questions about writing off your training cost on your taxes. This is what the tax code says.
To write off your school training costs the institution must be a college, university, trade school, or other postsecondary educational institution which is eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education. This includes most accredited public, nonprofit and privately-owned-for-profit postsecondary institutions.
MetrOasis does not participate in any U.S. financial aid programs operated by the federal government so we are not a qualifying school, so, most likely you will not be able to write your training costs off of your taxes.
