SOLD OUT?   There is still a good chance...

There most definitely will be cancellations.  If the Certification you wish to join is sold out, please contact us to be placed on the wait list. Life tends to come up for people, thus there  will be cancellations. The only way you can take advantage of a cancellation is to be on the wait list. If you're on the wait list, we will contact you when a cancellation occurs (there is no obligation or cost to be on the wait list).

TCNA CERTIFICATION REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

Please read the next section about trip insurance. It's very inexpensive and saves you the sting of an emergency cancellation. We urge you to obtain trip insurance (see below).  

The event cancel policy is:  100% refund if you or we find a replacement for your spot. We will maintain a waiting list. 

TRIP INSURANCE ONLY $23.04

We urge you to obtain trip insurance to avoid the sting of losing your tuition fees in the event "life comes up" and you must cancel. Finding trip insurance is simple on the internet - there are many excellent companies. A good site recommended by Forbes offers many options.  A search in 2025 found $500 of coverage for only $23.04 on Travelinsurance.com
