PAYMENT POLICY

Individuals are required to pay for courses and schedule skills session immediately via online appointment platform. Appointments will not be confirmed without payment. Business clients may opt out of using the online appointment platform to reserve training if they prefer to receive an invoice for payment when scheduling individual staff members for online courses.  For businesses scheduling training for their staff: Confirmation will be made to hold training date; However, payment must be received within 7 days and/or no later than 72 hours (if made within same week) of training request in order to prevent training from being canceled unless other arrangements have been made with the owner ahead of this deadline.  For public classes and private, individual training: No payments will be accepted day of training unless first approved by management and confirmed via email notification. Individuals granted an option to pay via invoice are done so as a courtesy on a case-by-case basis. Payment must be made within 7 days of request or no later than 72 hours of training (if scheduled in the same week) to avoid cancellation. Community Responders accepts payment via invoice, online and via phone. Cash and check payments are accepted on a case by case basis and must be approved first by management and confirmed via email. 

REFUND POLICY:

We are unable to refund fees for online/blended training courses once the video link has been registered and issued to you. If you are a healthcare professional and require training for your employer, be sure that you select the correct accreditation based on what your employer accepts. We are not responsible for certifications not accepted by your employer and no refunds will be given after the certification is granted. Refunds requested for classes not cancelled with advanced notice will incur a fee, as cards for certification and training materials are prepared in advance. Full refunds will be provided up to 72 hours before scheduled training. A late cancellation fee of 30 % will be retained if a refund is requested thereafter up until 4 hours before class. No refunds for cancelations within 4 hours of class. We will gladly reschedule your training as needed without a fee at any time with exception to our no call/no show policy. 

NO CALL/NO SHOWS *THIS INCLUDES NO CONTACT AFTER CLASS HAS BEEN IN SESSION FOR AN HOUR OR LONGER.* = NONREFUND CANCELATION. RESCHEDULING IS NOT ALLOWED IF AFTER AN HOUR PAST THE CLASS START TIME, WE’RE NOT NOTIFIED THAT YOU WOULD BE UNABLE TO ARRIVE. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER AND PAY AGAIN.

ATTENDANCE POLICY:

To respect the time of others participating in class as well, we ask that all students arrive on time for the training. If you are running late (or having trouble finding the office), we ask that you please notify us as soon as possible by calling or texting our national scheduling line at 866.988.6511. Students who will be more than 10 minutes late maybe asked to reschedule, and beyond 15 minutes without contacting us will require rescheduling. Please refer to the no call/no show policy above if there’s no contact with our company an hour past the time class began. 

DRESS POLICY: We require that students wear comfortable clothing and shoes for classes that require hands on skills testing (such as CPR, PHTLS, Advanced First Aid, etc). Dresses are not ideal for this environment as you will be expected to do some skills practice on the floor which may not be appropriate for the attire. Open toe shoes are permissible, as long as they are not heels, which can potentially be a slipping/fall hazard. We are not responsible for any injuries (slips, trips, falls, etc) due to clothing or improper body mechanics due to choice of attire. 

BUSINESS AND GROUP RATES

Business clients and groups are given a price rate based on the number expected to attend. This quoted price is based on the type of course(s) requested, the accreditation selected, and number of instructors required to hold the training (most courses have a 1:6 to 1:10 ratio). We offer discounts on a case by case basis. We ask that training requests be made at least a month in advance. Training requested under 30 days will incur an additional $75 fee.

Groups not having the expected number of students are required to pay the full quoted fee if adjustments are not made at least 7 days in advance. This requirement can be waived by the owner only, and is on a case by case basis only.

We do offer training for all ages, groups involving children up to age 14 are offered certification at a significantly reduced rate per minor. We do not provide 2 year certification cards for students under the age of 10, but gladly encourage participation and learning as well! Children too young for certification cards will receive a participation certificate from Community Responders.

CANCELLATIONS AND RESCHEDULING OF INCOMPLETE TRAINING

For Blended training sessions, online courses MUST be completed in order to continued with skills session. Four (4) hours prior to session, online training completion will be confirmed, if not completed, you will be notified via text and email advising that completion is required to avoid cancellation. If online course is not complete within 2 hours of skills session, the session will automatically be cancelled and must be rescheduled. 

Business and group classes that are canceled without advance notice lose any discounted rate that was offered. Cancellation fee's apply to payments already made unless group reschedules for future date.
