*Course Cancellation Policy
In general, the $150 course deposit is non-refundable (see Course Refund Policy for more details)
However, courses with less than 6 students registered by 2 weeks prior to the course will be cancelled to respect the time and finances of all involved. If a course is cancelled, you may choose to transfer payment to another course or I will refund it in full.
*Course Refund Policy
Your $150 deposit is refundable/transferable to a future course (within 12 months) until 11:59pm MST on Tuesday, August 19th, 2025. To receive a refund/request a transfer, please send an email to
a2F0aWUgfCBmaXJzdGFpZG91dGRvb3JzICEgY29t before that deadline.
Payment is due in full on the first day of class. No refunds will be given after the first day of class.
See Course Cancellation Policy for more information on what happens if I decide to cancel due to low enrollment.
*Deposit Code Disclaimer
By using the code "faowfrdep" to pay $150 and reserve a spot for the course, you agree to pay the remainder of your tuition balance ($450, or $420 if using cash/check) on/before the first day of class, September 17th, 2025.
Students who do not pay their balance on/before the first day of class will not be allowed to participate in the in-person portion of class, and will therefore be considered in-eligible for WFR certification.
