If a student fails to complete the RCFE Initial Certification Training Program Online Component before the fourth day of the course, they MUST notify our office upon completion. This allows us to issue a certificate of completion. If students do not finish within one month after the last day of class, they will need to retake the course.

While tuition remains non-refundable, you can reschedule reservations to different dates or transfer the tuition to another person. Please note that a rescheduling fee may apply for changes made within the 24-hours prior to the course, as this allows us to accommodate other participants and maintain the quality of our training sessions.
