Transfers 

You may transfer your in-person training to a different person at any time before the training starts for no additional cost. Please ensure the substituted participant has the required prerequisites before transferring the course to them. 

Absenteeism / Late Participants

Participants who are over 15 minutes late for the start of the course or who are absent for more than 15 minutes on any day of a course may not be eligible for a certificate if this causes them to miss too much of the curriculum to successfully complete the course. Absenteeism during class time (e.g. not participating in activities) may result in participants needing to be rescheduled as activities and participation allow the facilitator to validate learning. In these cases, credits and refunds will not be issued.

In the event of a class cancellation due to circumstances beyond our control, you will be contacted on the same day to make alternate arrangements. If you cannot or do not want to make alternate arrangements, we will provide a full refund for the cancelled course or appointment.

Refunds from Credit Card Transactions can be sent back only to the original payment method used in a charge. It’s not possible to send a refund to a different destination (e.g., another card or bank account).

Refunds to expired or cancelled cards are handled by the customer’s card issuer and, in most cases, credited to the customer’s replacement card. If no replacement exists, the card issuer usually delivers a refund to the customer using an alternate method (e.g., check or bank account deposit).

Deposits or prepayments made by the customer are refundable up to 365 days from the date of receipt. After 365 days, the amount will be converted to an Account Credit which will be valid for an additional 365 days.
