Financing questions

Is there a credit check to start?

No. The $300 down, pay-as-you-train plan is with the school. A credit check only happens if you choose Klarna, Afterpay or Zip at checkout, and those providers decide.

When does the balance need to be paid?

Before your DMV skills test. You pay in pieces as you book sessions; the office keeps you posted on where you stand.

What happens if Klarna declines me?

Go back and choose $300 today instead. Most students use the school plan.

Are there other costs?

ELDT theory online ($20), the DOT physical (usually $80 to $150), and DMV fees. For hazmat, the TSA background check fee.
