We understand that a 3-month program is a significant time investment. To ensure that you meet ICF requirements, you should make every effort to attend all sessions as scheduled.
You can miss ONE session and still meet ICF requirements for mentor coaching.
We do not schedule makeup sessions. Although all sessions are recorded, watching a recorded session later does not count toward attendance requirements.
That said, life happens.
If you must cancel, you may:
- 7 or more business days prior to program start: request a full refund less a 20% processing fee.
- 6 or less business days prior to program start: request a 50% refund, unless you find someone else to fill your spot. In that case, you may request a full refund less a 20% processing fee.
- Depending on the time of year, we may have multiple groups running at the same time. You may request transferring to another group for a fee of $150. But this depends on the space available in other groups. Please contact [email protected] to inquire.
