Tuition for the course is $1,200.00. However, discounts are available for multiple attendees from the same client who attend the same course, as follows:
One (1) to two (2) attendees $1,200.00 per attendee
Three (3) to seven (7) attendees $1,100.00 per attendee
Eight (8) or more attendees $1,000.00 per attendee
2. Cancellations, Withdrawals, Refunds, and Substitutions
A. Registrants require a minimum enrollment in order to assure the instructional benefits derived from the interaction of attendees of varying backgrounds with the instructor and with each other. In the event that MPS cancels a course due to insufficient enrollment or any other reason, attendees will be offered a place in a subsequent class or a full refund.
B. Clients whose cancellations are received more than five (5) business days prior to the start of the class may transfer their registration to a future class within the next six (6) months with full credit for tuition paid, or receive a refund of tuition paid less an administrative fee of $120.00. Registrants whose cancellations are received between five (5) and one (1) business days prior to the start of a class, may also transfer their registration without penalty to a future class within the next six (6) months, or they may receive a refund of their tuition less a nonrefundable administrative fee of $600.00. Registrants who attempt to cancel on the class starting day or who fail to attend without any notice to MPS may transfer their registration to a future class only upon payment of an additional $120.00 administrative fee or they may receive a tuition refund (less a $600.00 administrative fee). In any event, an attendee may transfer registration to a future class only one time without incurring an additional administrative fee of $120.00. This policy is to discourage late cancellations and thus reduce the impact on the other attendees. Attendees who start the course, but do not complete the requirements are not eligible for transfers of registrations or refunds.
C. Clients may substitute attendees without additional charge by notifying MPS at least three (3) business days prior to the start of the scheduled course.
