Fees Due if Make-Up Time is Required to Graduate

Students are allowed to miss up to 5 hours total of teacher training sessions. Missed hours may be complete with written assignments, specific workshops, or one-on-one time with a lead trainer. Generally, a 3-hour module will require 1.5 hours of make-up time. Each student is responsible for scheduling make-up time with the program director. All missed hours must be complete prior to graduation from the program.

If make-ups are needed, the student needs to work with the program director documenting a course of action. Fees may apply:

• $200 to assist an experienced teacher (8 classes)
• $100/hour to work one-on-one with a lead teacher to make-up missed teacher training sessions or mentorship hours
• $150 to make up a missed series class

Grace Period

Students have a grace period of 3 months beyond the last weekend date to make-up attendance and in- person assignments and submit, edit and revise any written assignments, including the IMP. A Certificate of Completion will be awarded once all criteria are met.

Tuition and Fees

There are two payment options. A $500 non-refundable registration fee due upon receipt of this contract.

Option A -

Paid in Full- The deadline to pay in full is 2 weeks prior to the start date of the training.

$500 non- refundable registration fee + one payment of $3,495 = $3,995

Option B-

Payment Plan- The remaining tuition will be divided into 13 auto- payments ($300 per month) processed on the first of each subsequent month. (Oct 2025- Oct 2026)

$500 non- refundable registration fee + 13 payments of $300 = $4,400

Outside of criteria for graduation (as described above), required books and other optional expenses are an additional expense not covered by this contract. Tuition must be paid in full, and student must complete all program requirements to graduate and receive the Certificate of Completion.

Cancellation and Refund Policies

All cancellations must be received in writing to the program director.

A student who submits written notice of cancellation at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the program is entitled to a refund of all monies paid, minus the registration fee of $500.

No refunds or credits will be given after the training begins. The program may give a partial refund to the student in the exercise of its discretion.

The program reserves the right to cancel any training before it begins. In that case any payments students have made will be refunded in full. If the program is terminated for any reason during the course of the training, all subsequent payments will be refunded.

Special Cases

In case a student needs to withdraw from the program due to illness, accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical for the student to complete the course, the program will provide a reasonable and fair refund.

A leave of absence from the program will be granted due to medical disability or other extraordinary circumstances at the discretion of the program director. In this case our refund policy will apply to unused tuition and the student must reapply for the next session and pay the difference, if any, of any remaining tuition and/or any related administrative fees. If tuition is increased for the next available session, the student must pay the higher rate.

Bad Conduct

No refunds will be given if the program removes a student from the program for bad conduct. Bad conduct is violation of the Code of Conduct, harassment, bullying, or any other behavior that is inappropriate or disruptive to the welfare of the program or to fellow students.
