What is the refund or cancellation policy?
Refund and Rescheduling Policy:
a. The Performance Institute operates on a no refund policy. Once a student is enrolled and payment is made, we allocate resources to guarantee the student's spot in the course and ensure the highest quality of instruction and learning experience. Therefore, we are unable to offer refunds once a registration is completed. However, the enrollment may be transferred to another student by the organization if the original student is unable to attend.
b. We recognize that unforeseen events can occur after enrollment that may prevent a student from attending their scheduled course. In such cases, in lieu of cancelling a course to comply with our no refund policy, organizations may either transfer their seat to another student or reschedule their course subject to the following conditions:
1. Notification: Students wishing to reschedule their course must notify the institute in writing at least 14 days before the course start date. This allows us to manage our resources effectively and offer the spot to other interested students.
2. Limitations on Rescheduling: Students may reschedule their course up to three (3) times from their original enrollment date provided this occurs at least 14 days in advance of the original or recently scheduled course. The rescheduled course must occur within one year of the originally scheduled course date. This flexibility is designed to accommodate unexpected changes in our students’ schedules.
3. Beyond the Third Rescheduling: If a student seeks to reschedule their course more than three times or must be rescheduled less than 14 days of the course start date, such requests will be reviewed and considered by senior management on a case-by-case basis. Approval will depend on the specific circumstances of the request and the Performance Institute’s capacity.
4. Procedure for Rescheduling: To reschedule a course, students must contact training@performanceinstitute.org with their request, including the reason for rescheduling and their preferred new course date(s). The Performance Institute will confirm the rescheduling based on course availability and compliance with the above policy.
