Eligibility for Specialty Courses
Existing and returning Academy students can enroll in specialty courses without paying the $25 new-student application fee or repeating the admissions and background-review process. New students who have already completed the Academy admissions and background process may also enroll in eligible specialty courses without repeating that process. If a particular course requires other Academy-controlled prerequisites, access is held pending staff review. Each enrollment creates a new Training Record associated to your existing Contact — prior records are never overwritten.
