Advanced Health Education Center, Ltd. Webinar Cancellation and Refund Policy

Advanced Health Education Center (AHEC) decides the Monday prior to the webinar date if an AHEC Live Webinar will be cancelled.

If AHEC cancels a webinar, the participant will be awarded one of the following: a full refund, a tuition credit to be used within the next year, or a transfer into another webinar course of equal or lesser value (before discounts). If the participant chooses to transfer to a webinar of higher value, the participant is responsible for the price difference.

If a participant neglects to contact AHEC prior to the course and does not attend, the tuition paid is forfeited to AHEC and no tuition credits are granted.

Minimum Class Size

All classes require a minimum number of attendees. AHEC reserves the right to cancel a course if the minimum number is not met. AHEC is not responsible for travel reimbursement in case of cancellation. Please check with our registration desk for status of your class before making definitive travel arrangements.

Certificate of Completion

AHEC provides you with a certificate of completion with the agency approval number the last day of your meeting to serve as your permanent record of attendance. This attractive certificate indicates CE credit and is available on the day of the seminar if you are registered by 10 AM the Monday prior to the class. You may want to frame it or put it in your personal file to show you are serious about success.

To receive credit for a CE activity, you must attend the entire function. ASRT will no longer allow credit to be issued for partial attendance in a course. You cannot leave early without a change in the number of CE Credits. If you arrive late, your certificate will be changed by the instructor. CE rules are straight forward and rely on your professionalism in documentation. CE records are kept at AHEC for six years. If you lose your certificate, a duplicate may be issued for a fee after your attendance has been verified on the class roster.

Tape Recording

Our programs - both what you see, what you hear, and your handout materials are fully copyrighted by AHEC. No audio recording, video taping, or copying without permission please.

Registration From Catalog

In spite of our continuing efforts, hotels often change our plans for national classes. If you register from the catalog or schedules received via mail, please call 800-239-1361 to verify dates, times, and location of your seminars or visit www.aheconline.com for the most up to date course information.

Handout Materials Online

Class handout material information is available at our website. CE seminar materials must be printed from the website and brought with you to class if you wish to have them. Skills classes and registry review class manuals are still made available in class. Increased costs of shipping and printing have required this change to continue to offer low cost tuition and special discounts, thus minimizing the use of paper as part of our "green" initiative.
