"In-Person" Course Cancellations and Refunds

Payment is due in full 10 days before the start of all courses. The Snell Group accepts checks, money orders, bank drafts, AMEX, Visa and MasterCard. Purchase Orders are accepted with approved credit. Until payment is received, a student is not guaranteed a seat in a class.

If a student cannot attend the course, a substitute may be sent at no additional cost. If the student cancels greater than one week before the start of a class, The Snell Group will refund their payment minus a $50 service fee or will transfer them to another Snell Group course. If a student cancels less than one week before the course, The Snell Group will refund their payment minus a $150 service fee. For cancellations within three days of the start of a course, or if a student does not show up at the course, there is no refund.

Regardless, we guarantee our work. If after attending a course and applying the new techniques you learned in our program, you feel that the course was not of value, we will refund your tuition.

Online Course Cancellation & Refunds

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have chosen and enrolled in the correct course. Please make sure that you have carefully read and reviewed the course description and that you have allotted and scheduled an appropriate amount of time to take the course(s) you enrolled in.

The types of issues that will not be considered for a refund include: technology-related issues such as poor ISP performance; unexpected issues with your time allotment to take the course; selecting and accessing the wrong course; and accessing the course and changing your mind about taking the entire course.

A refund is available only if you do not access the course at all. If it has not been accessed, a 100% refund is available and your credit card account will be credited. In order to qualify for refund consideration, you must contact us with a full explanation within three business days of purchase. If the course has been accessed, there will be no refund available.
