Unless otherwise noted in the course description or under contract terms with the contracting organization, the following cancellation policy applies to instructor-led/classroom courses:

If the learner cancels

• 5 or more days before the event date and start time - full refund of the registration fee, minus a $10 administrative fee
• 4 days or less before the event date and start time - no refund. Instead, the learner will need to contact the course instructor to determine rescheduling options.

AHA regulations require a minimum number of learners to be enrolled in each class in order to launch the class. The AHA requirement means that even one learner canceling can directly impact our ability to support several other learners who also signed up for the same class.

The date of the submitted request will be used to determine the refund amount. Book fees, card fees, and shipping are not refundable. Credit card refunds are only refunded to the card used in the original transaction. A refund may only be issued for a charge transaction settled within the past 60 days. Contact the instructor for refund methods used in non-credit card payments.  Textbooks, eBooks, purchased/rented/loaned CPR Manikins, and/or online course access key(s) are nonrefundable or transferable.

Unless otherwise noted in the course description or under contract terms with the contracting organization, the following cancellation policy applies to skill sessions (aka blended learning sessions):

For  HEARTCODE OR ONLINE HEARTSAVER HANDS-ON SESSION, if the learner cancels:

• 7 or more days before the event date and start time - full refund of the hands-on session registration fee, minus a $10 administrative fee
• 6 days to 72 hours before the event date and start time - full refund of the hands-on session registration fee, minus a $20 administrative fee
• 72 hours or less before the event date and start time - no refund. Instead, the learner will need to contact the course instructor to determine rescheduling options.

The date of the submitted request will be used to determine the refund amount. Credit card refunds will only be refunded to the card used in the original transaction. A refund may only be issued for a charge transaction settled within the past 90 days.  Textbooks, eBooks, CPR Manikins, and/or online course access key(s) are nonrefundable or transferable.

Unless otherwise noted in the course description, the learner is responsible for separately purchasing, accessing, and completing the online segment.

Successful completion of any online AHA course is demonstrated with a current course completion certificate issued by the online course.  The learner must submit a copy of their current online course completion certificate at the start of the hands-on session. Under no circumstance will the learner will be allowed into the hands-on session without a current online course completion certificate.  We also randomly confirm the certificate authenticity at the AHA's verification site to reduce fraud. The online completion certificate will be kept by the instructor and kept on file.

The learner will not receive a refund or be invited to reschedule for a hands-on session when:

• The learner cannot present an AHA course completion certificate at the start of the skill check session
• The learner presents an expired or already used course completion certificate
• The learner presents a non-AHA-issued course completion certificate

There will be no refunds issued, and the already-paid course registration fee cannot be applied/transferred to any future classes, skill sessions, products, and services.

A learner will be considered as not showing if they are at least 10 minutes late. Our instructors will only wait 10 minutes after the start of the course or hands-on session. After 10 minutes the instructor will be released from conducting the course/hands-on session and have no obligation to provide the learner with any existing and/or additional services/products. This policy applies regardless of the reason (i.e. traffic, you are lost, the world is ending, etc.). There are no refunds issued to learners who do not show up.

Learner Cancellations for COVID-19 or Infections Reasons

Learner-requested cancellations for COVID-19, seasonal flu symptoms/exposures, or any other pandemic/disaster/infectious process will not receive a refund. Upon request, those claiming COVID-19, flu exposure, or any other infection-related reason for seat cancelation will be provided a voucher, which is redeemable for the same class content and cost in the future. The voucher is good for six months and will not qualify for a refund. Contact the instructor for more information on how to obtain the voucher.

Notice of COVID Exposure Potential

By physically setting foot into one of our classes or skills session environments (aka sessions), you agree to the fact that you may be exposed to COIVD or other infections that are outside the control of the CPR Training Company. 

You would never know it but a rescheduling request creates a behind-the-scenes chain reaction we really prefer to avoid. So we use a fee to hopefully help avoid rescheduling you. Please contact the course instructor for information about rescheduling. Some instructors might:

• Only accommodate requests that supply a date and time for classes ony they teach.
• Not issue a refund when there are no future rescheduling options available or when the options available do not meet your needs
• Charge a fee every time you request to reschedule.

We understand "things" happen. All cancellations must be submitted to the instructor teaching the class, not the CPR Training Company. Final decisions for refunds reschedules, and cancelations are up to the class instructor and can only be processed by the instructor (not the CPR Training Company). Learners who requested cancellations for COVID-19, or seasonal flu symptoms/exposures will not receive a refund. Upon request, those claiming COVID-19 or flu exposures will be provided a voucher, which is redeemable for the same class content within 3 months of the original class date.

The CPR Training Company reserves the right to cancel a skill check session due to insufficient enrollment or for any circumstance. We strive to never cancel a skill check session. Unless otherwise noted in the course description or under contract terms with the contracting organization, participants of hands-on sessions canceled by the CPR Training Company will receive a full refund. Refunds will be issued to the payment source used at the time of purchase.  Textbooks, eBooks, CPR manikins, and online course access key(s) are nonrefundable and transferable.

The Emergency Cardiovascular Care Program Administration Manual (from the American Heart Association) provides guidance for card issuance timelines. We always strive to issue AHA eCards and course completion certificates within 24 hours of successful course completion. However, learners must understand that it can take up to 10 business days until they receive a course completion document. Payment in full must be received before the course completion document will be issued.  Oh and the CPR Training Company makes no guarantees of successful completion of a course.

All textbooks, eBooks, purchased/rented/loaned CPR manikins, or online course access key(s) are non-refundable. A refund will not be issued under any circumstances (even if the session/class is canceled by the CPR Training Company) for textbooks, eBooks, purchased/rented/loaned CPR manikins, or online course access key(s).

We use a web-based registration process to better prepare for the course and hands-on session needs/requirements. Under limited conditions, registration may occur over the phone, by mail, and/or in person at the start of the class. Forms received by mail must be accompanied by payment in order to be processed. Payment must clear the bank before a seat is reserved.

A purchase order or check may be accepted for select events, but payment by check is not common. There is a $45 fee for a returned check. A seat and/or completion certificate will not be secured until payment clears the bank.

• Invoices under $250 will be paid for by credit card. Invoices over $250 will be paid by check.
• We typically invoice for services provided to larger clients and medical offices who want an onsite course and a single event invoice, contact the instructor for payment details.
• Registration may not be completed until payment is received and processed.

Education research clearly demonstrates that audiovisual recording of clinical simulations is strongly encouraged due to the insight gained by learners from viewing their actions. Therefore anyone entering the properties owned, rented, or otherwise engaged by the CPR Training Company consents to participate in recordings (audio and/or visual) unless otherwise stated in writing, legally prohibited, or related to security measures for specific clients.

The CPR Training Company and its instructors may use audiovisual recordings of classrooms and clinical simulation settings to provide the learner with psychologically safe insight on an individual and team performance. These recordings are also intended to support general learning, performance improvement of instructors/staff/contractors, marketing purposes, security, and general awareness of educational practices at CPR Training Company.

However, if the audiovisual recording is to be used for research purposes, researchers are responsible for obtaining appropriate separate consent as determined by their Institutional Review Board and Research prior to audiovisual recording. Audiovisual recordings will not be used for disciplinary actions of learners. Audiovisual recordings will not be supplied to anyone or organization outside the CPR Training Company nor will they be used for disciplinary reasons, unless directed by court order.

The CPR Training Company will keep audiovisual recordings as long as data storage and utility of the content apply to the purposes established by the CPR Training Company but in general audiovisual recordings will be kept for 10 days, then destroyed in an appropriate manner.

It is said only two things are certain, tax and death. Taxes are the death of a small business but that discussion is for a different day. In general and unless otherwise noted, any and all sales and occupation taxes are included in the prices of our services and or products. Thus this is why our prices may seem higher in certain locations.

Every effort will be made to notify participants of weather-related issues. However, due to the unexpected nature of the weather, we may not be able to inform you of a weather cancellation before you leave for class. All fees will be fully refunded if the CPR Training Company cancels a program for weather-related issues. Learners are strongly encouraged to contact the instructor with weather concerns and provide a mobile/text number during registration for urgent messages.

The CPR Training Company and instructors, as tenants, have no control over the physical layout of rented training locations. Please contact the instructor if you have any concerns about your disability needs.

The CPR Training Company is an education service provider and operates just like any education provider (schools, colleges, etc.) by providing access to educational services. By buying a service from the CPR Training Company or our instructors, the learner is acknowledging the following agreement:

• By pressing "Register" to complete the online registration, I agree to pay tuition and fees and further agree to reimburse the CPR Training Company or instructor the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 33 1/3% of the debt, 12% APR on such debt and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, the CPR Training Company would incur in such collection efforts.
• All monetary transactions are made by the buyer to secure the right to access specific educational services delivered on a particular date, time, and location defined in the event information during registration.
• The monetary transactions are only refundable if the instructor fails to provide services/products at the specific date, time, and location or if the learner drops the class per the timeline outlined in other parts of the event policy.
• All provided educational services are provided without warranty or guarantee of successful completion.
