The fee for the year is $350 for a student in a sponsoring diocese. {EfM Online is considered to be part of a Sponsoring Diocese, so the fee for Online students is also, $350.00.} This fee will include the cost of the, the mentor fee, texts for the mentor(s), the graduation certificates and support and resources from EfM Canada. Students are expected to purchase their own text books and interlude book from their preferred bookseller, prior to the beginning of their class.

Each of the four years of the EfM programme has a different theme:
