At MiTio, we aim to make learning as accessible as possible—and that includes cost. You can pay $849 upfront to automatically receive a 30 percent price reduction from $1,199. We offer open enrollment throughout the year, so you can start your training whenever it’s convenient for you.
In addition, we ask candidates to demonstrate their fluency in English and their target language by providing one or more of the following documents:
A diploma from a country in which your target language is spoken
A transcript that shows 15+ credit hours completed in your target language
Test scores from a course in your target language
If you can’t provide any of the above documentation, you can qualify by completing a 15 to 30 minute oral language assessment through Language Testing International (LTI) or ALTA. This assessment can be completed remotely and tests for fluency in English and your target language only—no interpreting or medical expertise required! Contact MiTio to take the test. There is an additional fee to take the test. Prices vary depending on the language.
