Refund Policy
-
Students who withdraw or are dismissed after the start of one-day classes are not entitled to a refund.

-
Students who withdraw after the start of a multi-day program (i.e. EMR, EMT, AEMT) shall be entitled to a full refund, less a 10% administrative fee if requested within 7 days of the start of the program.
-
If a program or class is canceled, a full refund of the tuition will be issued.
Essentially if we cancel a class you will receive a full refund. If you withdraw before the start of a class you will also get a refund but we don't refund our payment processing fees as those aren't refunded to us. If you sign up for a multi-day program (ex. EMR, EMT, AEMT) you have one week to decide it's not for you and we will give you the same refund as if the class had not started. Please email us if you have questions about our refund policy. Our goal is to be fair to you as well as to us.
Pursuant to Hedc 304.1, All refunds shall be paid within 30 days upon written notification from a student of cancellation or withdrawal; and Students receiving benefits from federal programs shall be subject to federal refund policies, rules, and regulations.
