Refunds

Refunds in the form of coupons for future trainings are granted for cancellations made at least 3 business days prior to the training date.  Please note, we are not able to refund fees for CPR and First Aid classes even with 3 days notice as capacity is limited and demand is high.  If you wish to cancel 3 days prior to a training, please call Donna at 343-2344, extension 18.  If there are extenuating circumstances to be considered, you may contact the Executive Director at extension 19.
