Answer 1

If you are looking for one class, then very cheap since it would be continuing education...under 200 dollars at most places...but if you are looking into a vocational school like one of those on t.v. commercials during the day, prepare to pay big bucks.  Be careful, and avoid those places.  I considered going to one about a year ago instead of finishing up at community college.  They sat everyone down in a room to fill out financial aid paperwork...then when I realized what they were asking us to do, it was requesting 10,000.00 dollars in loans.  With that "certificate" it would be impossible to get a job well enough to pay it back.  So, look into your local community college district, they have all sorts of programs...usually several campuses that will over different things.  For instance, you could get a certificate in air conditioning repair or computer programming for free if you have finanical aid.  Talk to a community college, and apply for financial aid by going to fafsa.ed.gov...it is free to apply and as long as you do it early and you or your parents (if you are a dependent student) do not exceed income requirements you are good to go...probably with money left over in your pocket.

Answer 2

you have to know what school, what trade, what city, state, etc...they're all different.
