Professionalism

I agree not to engage in unprofessional, disrespectful or unsafe behavior at any time.

Such determinations are made at the discretion of the instructor and are not subject to review or appeal. If a student is expelled for such behavior, no refund will be issued.

Class Safety

I agree to take responsibility for my own physical and emotional care and well-being. If I feel uncomfortable or unsure of what is happening or have an adverse reaction to an exercise, it is my decision and responsibility to withdraw and notify the attending instructor.

Apricot Grove Refund Policies

Maintaining financial health is necessary for our long-term planning. For this reason, our class tuition refund policy is as follows:

ONLINE COURSES, LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS

  • $850 tuition fee must be paid in full at the time of registration.
  • 30 days prior prior to the first class: 100% of tuition balance may be refunded (not including deposit listed above).
  • 15 days prior to the first class: 75% of tuition balance refunded (not including deposit listed above).
  • Less than 15 days prior to the first class and after the course has begun: no tuition refunds are given.

IN-PERSON COURSES, LECTURES, AND WORKSHOPS (INCLUDING CLINICAL PRACTICUMS)

Due to the administrative cost requirements of in-person trainings, the refund policy is different from that of online courses:

  • To reserve a position for an in-person training, the complete tuition must be paid at the time of registration.
  • 30 days prior to the first class, 75% of tuition balance may be refunded.
  • Less than 30 days prior to the first class, no class refunds are given.
