We want to make sure you are completely satisfied so we offer money-back guarantee. You must request the refund within 30 days of signing up and prior to taking the course's final exam.

Personal checks and money orders will be refunded by company check. An $8 processing fee will be applied to your refund.

Refunds are issued within 30 days of the effective date of termination. If you have not successfully completed the course within 180 days, your registration will be cancelled automatically and you will not be eligible for a refund.

If you are thinking of requesting a refund because you feel you will be unable to complete the course before your due date, you may want to contact your court to see about an extension before giving up. Remember that we have express delivery options and many courts will accept postmarks as completion proof or offer grace periods. In addition, you may want to ask the court if they will accept a faxed copy of your certificate until the original is received.
