Cancellation Policy
If you absolutely cannot attend, your tuition will be refunded only if cancellation is made 15 days prior to class start date, No exceptions please, ie. (Funerals, Weddings, Personal Illness, Employer Conflicts). Cancellations after this time period are non-refundable and cannot be credited to another course.
Class sizes are kept small for quality “one-on-one” training but our courses require a minimum number of personnel for safety and team effectiveness.

However, you will be refunded in full if the class has been cancelled by the instructor.
