payment, attendance & refund policy
deposit & payment
Upon receiving an acceptance email, the applicant can pay in full or will be expected to pay a non-refundable deposit to reserve their spot.
The deposit amount varies by program — if you are unsure, please contact us before registering.
The deposit can be paid via credit card or bank/wire transfer. The deadline to pay in full is 1 business day prior to the start date of training.
attendance & commitment
This training requires a high level of commitment. Enrollment assumes your full participation and accountability.
All scheduled sessions must be attended in full. Repeated absences, late arrivals or early departures will affect final evaluation and may impact certification eligibilit
Active participation is expected throughout — this includes discussions, practices, partner work, and all assigned activities. All coursework, assignments, and required practices must be completed.
In the case of emergency absences, please notify the program director immediately.
phones & devices in the shala
This training is an invitation to disconnect from the screen and reconnect to yourself.
Phones and personal devices are not permitted during sessions. We ask that you honor this space — for yourself and for everyone in the room.
assessment & certification
Successful completion is not guaranteed by attendance alone. Final certification will be based on:
-
Attendance and punctuality
-
Level of engagement and participation
-
Completion of all requirements
-
Professionalism and contribution to the group environment
Students who do not meet these standards may receive additional requirements or may not be certified.
Students who do not intend to teach are held to the same standards as those who do.
This is a professional training and all participants are evaluated equally.
withdrawal
If a student wishes to withdraw for any reason, they must first contact the program director.
If an applicant withdraws after acceptance but before the program starts, the deposit amount will be retained by the program regardless of whether a deposit or full payment was made.
Any amount paid above the deposit will be refunded. The retained deposit can be applied toward a future training program.
If the applicant paid the Sale Price and withdraws after acceptance but before the program starts, they will be refunded the amount paid minus the standard deposit fee for that program.
All payments are final and non-refundable for withdrawals made within 7 days of the training start date, or after the training has begun.
special cases
In case a student needs to withdraw due to illness, accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that make it impractical to complete the training, the student may reschedule for any of our trainings within the calendar year.
program cancellation
The program reserves the right to cancel any training before it begins. In that case, all payments made will be refunded in full.
termination from program
The program may terminate a student's participation if:
(1) false information was used in the admission process;
(2) a student misses more than 25% of the training;
(3) a student is absent for more than 2 consecutive days without notifying the program director;
(4) the student fails to make timely payments.
All prior payments and fees are non-refundable and non-transferable in cases of termination.
No refunds will be given if the program removes a student for behavior that is harmful or disruptive to others. This includes harassment, bullying, or any other behavior inappropriate to a shared learning environment.
