Refunds

Refunds are not offered, except in cases of legitimate extenuating circumstances (e.g., serious illness), which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. In most cases, missed sessions will be handled through rescheduling, not refunds. If a refund is approved, it will be processed to the original form of payment. Cash or check refunds will not be issued under any circumstances.

Cancellations, Missed Classes, and Rescheduling 

Classes will be conducted only if a minimum of four participants are enrolled. In the event that a class is canceled due to low enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances, refunds will not be issued. Instead, participants will be offered the opportunity to reschedule for a future session at no additional cost. If a participant misses a scheduled class, we will reach out to offer a chance to reschedule for a future session at no additional cost. Participants are encouraged to contact us directly to arrange a reschedule if they know they will miss a session. Participants may reschedule their training up to 1 time. After exceeding this limit, their original payment will be forfeited. If the participant wishes to re-enroll in the course they will be required to submit a new payment. 

Exam Failure and Retake Policy

Certification for the forklift class requires successful completion of two assessment components: a written exam and a driving evaluation. Participants will be given multiple attempts to pass each component. 

If a participant is unable to pass the assessment during the initial training day, they will be allowed one additional opportunity to retake the exam on a separate day. The driving portion of the exam will be limited to 30 minutes. If the participant does not successfully complete the exam within this time frame, they will be asked to reschedule for a later date in order to ensure adequate time for other participants.Failure to pass after this second attempt will result in ineligibility for certification, and no refund will be issued. The participant may choose to re-enroll in the course and submit another payment if they still wish to pursue certification.
