General Training Terms

Dropping a class/Cancellations

You may drop a class by navigating to the ME tab or MY TEAM.

Please note the Cancellation Policy and consider replacing a student should the policy be in effect. (Rescheduling is considered a cancellation of the original reservation.)

Standard Cancellation and No-Show Policy

• Cancellation with 2 weeks or more notice will result in no fee
• Cancellation with less than a 2 week notice will result in a 50% course fee
• A no-show will result in a 100% course fee
• Rescheduling a class does not waive the cancellation policy
  

Authorized System Integrators (ASI) Cancellation and No-Show Policy

• Cancellations received in writing before the 2-week mark prior to the start of the scheduled class are not considered late cancellations.
• In the event an ASI cannot attend, another representative may be sent from the company to avoid incurring the class cost.
• Subsequent Late Cancellation/No Shows will require payment of the class charged at the integrator price. This will also require the issuance of a PO to secure a seat at the time of registration for any future training classes. The class will only be charged if the student has no shows or cancellations within 2 weeks of the class start date.
