Administrative Policies

UPDATED 4/9/2024

This policy supercedes any prior published policy.

OUR 2024 NO-RISK GUARANTEE

All 2024 “live” training programs have a no-risk 100% money-back guarantee. If for any reason you can not attend class, just notify us at least 24 hours in advance and you will get your money back no questions asked. If we are forced to cancel a live class for any reason you will also get your money back.

COVID 19 PREVENTION PROTOCOL

Our live training programs have been completely rewritten to help prevent the spread of Covid 19. The class size for all in-person programs has been capped at about 50% of our pre-Covid capacity and our meeting rooms are set in a socially-distanced configuration, with each chair at least six feet from every other chair. We have eliminated live demos that require the sharing of equipment in close proximity to others, and the program now features almost 200 video clips with demos you can do individually at your seat. Whether or not to wear a mask indoors is a personal decision and while CDC guidelines encourage masking indoors we don't require it. Needless to say, f you are experiencing flu-like symptoms or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for Covid, please stay home in accordance with current CDC guidelines; if you must cancel due to exposure to COVID 19 you are protected by our 100% refund policy. All Covid 19 prevention policies are subject to prevailing local regulations, mandates or statutes, and are subject to change without notice.

REFUNDS

Live Classes
All 2024 “live” training programs have a no-risk 100% money-back guarantee. If for any reason you can not attend class, just notify us at least 48 hours in advance and you will get your money back no questions asked. If we are forced to cancel a live class for any reason you will also get your money back. Please remember it may take 10-14 days for the refund to post to your credit or debit account. If you are unable to attend a live training program and do not notify us 48 hours in advance we will be happy to issue you an in-house credit for the program you did not attend. The credit is good for one year and may be used for any program or product you desire.

Home Study Courses/Webinars
If you are unhappy with any home study /correspondence program, simply email us within three business days of its receipt and tell us that you will be returning the book to us. So long as the book is returned back in its original, saleable condition, and you have not taken the test, we will issue you a full refund of the purchase price less any shipping charges. If you purchase the “Test Only” option or a Webinar-on-Demand you must notify us within three days of your purchase that you would like a refund. Refunds will not be issued if you have already taken the test and/or generated your certificate of completion.

E-courses
Refunds for eCourses must be made within three calendar days of purchase and cannot be issued if the keycode has been used or if you have taken the test. To request a credit or refund please email us at: info@exerciseetc.com

Shipping & Handling
Claims for non-delivery of packages must be made within 30 days of the published shipping date. After 30 days from the date of shipping, Exercise ETC has no responsibility for packages that were not delivcered or received.

HOME STUDY PROGRAM COMPLETION DEADLINES & DATES

After you receive your home study program or webinar, you must submit your answer sheet to us by December 31 of the same calendar year. Courses purchased after November 1 must be completed by December 31 of the next calendar year. Programs that are submitted too long after purchase may no longer be accepted by your certifying organization; this is to ensure that the material you are studying always contains the most recent, up to date information available! In rare cases, the CE awards or approval status for a specific course may change. In the event this would occur, Exercise ETC will issue you an in-house credit equal to the price you paid for the program that was affected. Some restrictions may apply.

On your Continuing Education certificate you will see 2 dates: The date that you purchased the course and the date you completed the course. Most certifications want you to use the course completion date when you submit your Continuing Education credits for approval. If you are unsure which date to use, contact your certifying agency. Once a certificate has been generated, it is not possible to change the completion date or make any other corrections/revisions.
