PLEASE READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY! 

Login early, in case of technical difficulties!

Please be patient in the waiting room while the instructor checks each student in.

USING A PHONE FOR THE ZOOM CLASS IS ALLOWED BUT NOT ADVISED. Phone calls & notifications will disrupt your connection to class, and may kick you out of the class. Also, cell phones are likely to overheat and turn off. If you MUST use your phone, you will need to turn on your “do not disturb” setting during the class.

ZOOM CLASS RULES : 

It is your responsibility to understand and comply with these class rules. Students who do not comply with the class rules will be removed from the class and WILL NOT receive their certification, nor any refund.

  •  No late entries! Once the class starts, the instructor will not stop the class to allow late entries.

  • If you miss day 1, you may not attend day 2. If you miss day 2, you must repeat the whole class. Rescheduling of partial classes is not permitted.

  • Please note that any time the instructor has to stop the class to reinforce the meeting rules, it DISRUPTS AND DISRESPECTS your fellow students and instructor.

  • CLASS MAY BE RECORDED AND IS SUBJECT TO AUDIT BY STATE LICENSING. By joining the class, you agree to being recorded.

  • Maximum of 2 participants allowed per device.

  • YOUR FACE (not your ceiling, photos, walls, etc.) MUST BE VISIBLE ON VIDEO TO THE INSTRUCTOR at all times. If you are not visible on video, you are not in class and the instructor will REMOVE YOU from the class and you WILL NOT receive your certificate, nor any refund.

  • THIS COURSE REQUIRES PARTICIPATION AND YOU MUST RESPOND TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR. If you do not reply to your instructor, you are not in class and the instructor will REMOVE YOU from the class and you WILL NOT receive your certificate, nor any refund.

  •  Because you are visible to all the class participants, you must treat this like an in-person class. Therefore, YOU MAY NOT PARTICIPATE FROM YOUR BED, or any other location deemed inappropriate by the instructor.

  • NO PARTICIPATING WHILE IN A VEHICLE in any capacity during the Zoom class. This is a liability concern,  could be illegal, and the instructor will REMOVE YOU from the class and you WILL NOT receive your certificate, nor any refund.

  • NO MULTI-TASKING DURING CLASS TIME (no housework, no childcare, no phone calls, no texting, no peripheral conversations, no doing paperwork, shopping, riding a bus, etc.). This is a class! The instructor will REMOVE YOU from the class if you are in a distracting environment, and you WILL NOT receive your certificate. Participants must participate in a quiet area with no distractions, and without distracting others.

  • CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED ON AUDIO OR VIDEO AT ANY TIME. This violates their privacy and the instructor will REMOVE YOU from the class and you WILL NOT receive your certificate, nor any refund.

  • YOU MAY NOT LEAVE CLASS FOR ANY REASON while the instructor is teaching. Students who leave while class is in session will be removed from the class and WILL NOT receive their certification, nor any refund.

  • YOU MUST RETURN FROM ALL BREAKS ON TIME. If you are late, the instructor will REMOVE YOU from the class and you WILL NOT receive your certificate, nor any refund. Breaks are given approximately each hour. Plan accordingly.

  • CLASS IS TAUGHT IN ENGLISH. If you do not speak English, you will need to have a translator present with you, or you will not pass the class. We do not provide translators. You are responsible for your own translator.

  • IF YOU HAVE A TRANSLATOR, they must present with you on the same device and be visible on the video with you, actively translating at all times for the entire class. You will be asked questions throughout class, and are required to participate to receive certification.

  •  We cannot be responsible for technical difficulties. If your device drops your class, you will need to reschedule your training and the rescheduling fee will apply.

  • Be sure YOUR DEVICE IS PLUGGED IN AND YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION ADEQUATE. AUDIO AND VISUAL CAPABILITIES ARE MANDATORY. If you are dropped from the meeting because you lose power, you will need to reschedule your training and the rescheduling fee will apply.
