Terms: Live Courses
- Guarantee
We guarantee that attendees will pass their initial national certification exam as long as the exam is taken no less than 3 weeks and no more than 3 months, after taking a Barkley & Associates’ Live Course or graduation (whichever comes last).
Barkley & Associates must be notified by email within 3 weeks of receipt of the score report. Upon notification, the student may choose to take any Live Course for free within the next 6 months.
- Information
After purchasing a course, you will receive an Invoice and a PDF containing details of your course. Please be reminded to specifically check the email account that was used to register.
On-site registrations are accepted, if space is available, and will incur a $75 on-site registration fee in addition to the current course price.
Prices and exact course run times are subject to change at any time and without notice.
Once enrolled for a Live Course, an attendee may elect to transfer their registration to a different venue/city/date. To do so, the attendee must submit their request no later than 4 weeks prior to the first day of the applicable course. A $150 administrative fee is required to confirm the transfer.
- Cancellations/Refunds
All purchases are FINAL. No refunds will be made for course cancellations.
- Under extenuating circumstances, we will do our best to accommodate the needs of our Live Course customers by transferring them to an alternative venue. If another Live Course is not scheduled in the near future, transferring to a Home Study option may be discussed. In these cases, an administrative fee of $150.00 will be charged.
- Attendees failing to attend a Live Course sacrifice their entire registration fee – no venue transfers or Home Study options apply.
- If a customer purchases the wrong Live Course (e.g., Adult-Gerontology Acute Care instead of Adult-Gerontology Primary Care), an administrative fee of $50, plus any difference in course price, will apply to change to the correct course.
- Force Majeure
In the unlikely event that Barkley & Associates, Inc. has to cancel a course for reasons beyond their control, including but not limited to insufficient enrollment, acts of God or nature, strikes, war, terrorist acts, hotel labor disputes, disease (e.g., epidemics, pandemics), civil disturbances, travel advisories, or other government restrictions, the liability of Barkley & Associates, Inc. shall be limited to a refund of the attendee’s course registration fee.
- Accessibility
Special seating accommodations for our Live Courses and extended time to take the Diagnostic Readiness Tests are a couple examples of accommodations for accessibility that Barkley & Associates will make for customers. For attendees with a disability who require a special accommodation, please contact CustomerService@NPcourses.com.
Terms: Advanced Procedures Workshops
- Cancellation and Transfer Policy & Fees
Due to high demand and the need to reserve seats to maintain small groups, no refunds are allowed once registered for an APW, regardless of the reason. In addition, no refunds will be given to registrants who do not attend their scheduled workshop, regardless of the reason.
Barkley & Associates reserves the right to reassign attendees to a different Advanced Procedures Workshop time, if needed, to ensure optimal group learning and appropriate faculty to student ratios. In this case, attendees will be notified in advance of alternatives.
The fee for transferring any APW to another attendee is $60.
Prices for APWs are subject to change without notice.
Terms: CE Certificates
- Information
When registering for a Live Course, please make sure all of your information is correct, including the spelling of your name. If there are any errors, we must be notified immediately. The name entered on your account will be reflected on your certificate.
All Live course attendees must complete their online evaluations within one week of the last day of the course to receive their CE certificate. Failure to submit the evaluation on time to receive a CE certificate will result in a $30 administrative fee.
Lost CE certificates will be reissued for an administrative fee of $30. Once a CE certificate replacement has been purchased, no refunds are allowed.
Advanced Procedures Workshops require a certificate reissue fee for each certificate needed. For example; if a certificate is needed for four Advanced Procedures Workshops in the same city, then four certificate reissues are required.
