Q. Is the tuition tax deductible?
A. Yes! Your tuition qualifies as a business expense and is tax deductible.
Q. What is the value of my investment?
A. Your investment goes far beyond certification. Unlike many coaching or human first-aid programs that accept unlimited students, we intentionally limit saturation to ensure strong demand and meaningful opportunities for every instructor. Our goal is to build a national network of highly qualified instructors with ample regional coverage, not overcrowded markets.
When you join our team, you’re investing in a proven program, a supportive community, and a brand with growing recognition across Canada. Ultimately, the value you receive is directly connected to the effort you put in: the more you engage, promote, and teach, the more your investment grows.
