There is no set minimum age, but please keep in mind that SBC assumes a level of maturity and independence commensurate to a workplace, so students who require parental supervision would not be appropriate for the program. Also keep in mind that the admission process for SBC is competitive, and younger applicants might not have enough education and ancillary experience to compete with other applicants.

Furthermore, for liability reasons SBC cannot assume responsibility for students who are under 18. Admission for students who are under 18 requires a parent or other responsible adult to co-register.
