Professional Career Training USA Fees:
The Complicated bit!
Please see to follow the fees for PCT USA. You may be wondering why it goes up to 20 months, when the maximum you can actually be on the traineeship at your US Host Company is 18 months!This is to allow you to go up to 2 weeks before your actual traineeship starts, and stay for the purposes of travel and tourism for up to 30 days after (the max allowed by the US State Department).
For example,
if you plan to fly on the 1st October to the USA, and pay for a 12 month programme, the last date we can legally allow you to remain in the USA will be the 30th September the following year.If you pay for a 13 month duration in the USA (flying out on the 1st October), and your internship ends on the 1st October the following year, we will be able to let you stay in the USA till the 31st October for tourism and travel!
If you choose to fly out 2 weeks before your 12 month internship starts, and stay for the max 30 days at the end, this would take you into the 14 month programme!
Basically, if your time in the USA takes you into an extra month, make sure you use this to the maximum, as we will not be able to change these dates once you have departed for the US
Complicated we know - if in doubt feel free to use our USA fees calculator (see the main menu)
