We are accustomed to working with schools that have a wide variety of standards and procedures and we are willing to supply whatever paperwork you need. We will also work with teachers and hold your space in the class while the payment details are worked out. Registration fees are not refundable once a participant has registered. Schools may also substitute a new participant if the original participant chooses to cancel. Teachers will receive 3 CEUs upon successful completion of the institute.
