That sounds high. 20 seems appropriate but 5000 seems wrong. Try a different school. Apply early. Talk to the head of the dept.

Check with your state’s re-education programs.
I lost my 21-year manufacturing job last December, and found a state-funded program for people like me. They paid a local Tech school to add an intensive 2 month training program in Phlebotomy (drawing blood in a lab). I finished it today, just over 12 weeks after I started.
Health care is booming, and many schools/states are teaming up to overcome that waiting list. Look into it!
