Procedure for withdrawal/withdrawal date: A student choosing to withdraw from the program after the commencement of classes is to provide written notice to the lead trainer and/or studio owner. The notice is to indicate the expected last date of attendance and be signed and dated by the student. The receipt date of written request to withdraw will be considered the withdrawal date.

A student will be automatically withdrawn if they have not attended any of the regularly scheduled teacher training classes for six (6) consecutive scheduled class sessions. In this case, the withdrawal date will be the date of the sixth consecutive missed class.

Tuition charges and refund amounts for the enrollment period will be determined as follows:

  • Before beginning of class 100% Refund (less any admin/credit card fees as stated above)
