All costs listed are estimates. Registration fees are established by the State Board of Community Colleges and are subject to change without notice. The cost of a physical examination required by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Standards & Training Commission is not included in the list.
Some Wake Tech Basic Law Enforcement Training Academy students are sponsored by a North Carolina municipal, county or state law enforcement agency. The agency isn't obligated to hire the cadet(s), and a cadet doesn't have to take a job with the sponsoring agency. Sponsorship is not required; cadets may enter and pay for the academy on their own.
Cadets interested in being sponsored should contact law enforcement agencies and ask if they provide sponsorships for training. Agencies will conduct background checks, and if there are no problems, they will notify the cadet or the academy that they plan to provide sponsorship.
