Materials

A materials deposit of $400 is required. For Foundations of Woodworking I, this will typically cover all of a student's materials fees for the course. For Foundations of Woodworking II, students tend to spend more than $400 on materials; these costs are typically processed through materials suppliers locally and at the discretion of each student. Any unused materials deposit will be returned at the end of the course. You may use the materials deposit to buy books, finishes, wood, fasteners, and hardware from PTSW. 

Students using the Veterans Education benefits will pay for books out of pocket using the books and supplies stipend sent directly to them from the VA..


Registration

The registration process is initiated after the student is offered and accepts a spot in the program. Registration is managed by our Registrar and processed through the Active Network, our registration software. Questions can be addressed to registrar@ptwoodschool.org.

Payment

  • The registration fee and deposit of 10% of the tuition are due upon registration.

  • The second deposit of 30% of the tuition is due 60 days before the course start date.

  • The full payment (the remaining 60%) of tuition is due 30 days prior to the course start date.

    We encourage students to make payments by personal check, money order or bank check to avoid credit card processing fees. Mail checks to:
