FAQs
What if I can’t pay by credit card?
By default, your registration for a class cannot be completed without a credit card for payment. However, we understand that doesn’t work for everybody. If you need to pay by Purchase Order or any other method, we just ask that you contact us via email to work out all the details.
What if I miss my meeting or cancel?
Once you have booked an appointment with a consultant, it means that you have reserved that hour on their calendar. To be fair to our instructors, cancellations are non-refundable 48 hours prior to the scheduled session. We understand that in some cases cancellations within 48 hours are unavoidable; in that case, we ask that you attempt to reschedule your appointment.
