When can I start classes in the CCI Program?
Most classes in our CCI Program run on an ongoing basis, which is called continuous enrolment.
Continuous enrolment means that you can start classes right away – you don’t have to wait a few weeks or months for a new class to start on a specific date.
If there is space in the class you would like to join, you can start the next Monday.
However, some levels of our classes are very popular and fill up quickly.
If a specific class is full, this means there may be a waiting list for the class you would like to join.
How long are the classes in the CCI Program?
Students must register for a minimum of 4 weeks.
Most classes are 17 weeks. However, some classes may be shorter or longer, depending on the class.

Registration Fee
To register for any course at CCI-LEX, there is a registration fee of $30, which covers the cost of creating a new student account for you.
This fee is a one-time fee, which means that you only pay it the first time you register as a student at CCI-LEX, and not every time you register for a new class.
The only exception to this is that a student who is not registered for 6 months or more will be required to pay the registration fee again.
Class Fees
When schools talk about fees, or the cost of a class, it is called tuition. Besides the one-time registration fee, our students also pay a fee, or tuition, for each class.
