Terms: In-Person Courses

Prices are subject to change without notice.

We guarantee that attendees will pass their initial national certification exam as long as the exam is taken no less than 3 weeks and no more than 3 months, after taking a Barkley & Associates’ In-Person Course or Live Webinar or graduation (whichever comes last).

Barkley & Associates must be notified by email within 3 weeks of receipt of the score report. Upon notification, the student may choose to take any In-Person Course or Live Webinar for free within the next 6 months.

After purchasing a course, you will receive an Invoice and a PDF containing details of your course. Please be reminded to specifically check the email account that was used to register.

On-site registrations at In-Person Courses are accepted, if space is available, and will incur a $75 on-site registration fee in addition to the current course price.

Prices and exact course run times are subject to change at any time and without notice.

Once enrolled for a In-Person Course, an attendee may elect to transfer their registration to a different venue/city/date. To do so, the attendee must submit their request no later than 4 weeks prior to the first day of the applicable course. A $150 administrative fee is required to confirm the transfer.

Once enrolled for a Live Webinar, an attendee may elect to transfer their registration to a different date. To do so, the attendee must submit their request no later than 4 weeks prior to the first day of the applicable course. A $150 administrative fee is required to confirm the transfer.

All purchases are FINAL. No refunds will be made for course cancellations.

Under extenuating circumstances, we will do our best to accommodate the needs of our In-Person Course customers by transferring them to an alternative venue. If another In-Person Course is not scheduled in the near future, transferring to a Live Webinar or Home Study option may be discussed. In these cases, an administrative fee of $150.00 will be charged.

If another Live Webinar is not scheduled in the near future, transferring to an In-Person Course or Home Study option may be discussed. In these cases, an administrative fee of $150.00 will be charged.
Attendees failing to attend a In-Person Course sacrifice their entire registration fee – no venue transfers or Live Webinar or Home Study option apply.
If a customer purchases the wrong In-Person Course or Live Webinar (e.g., Adult-Gerontology Acute Care instead of Adult-Gerontology Primary Care), an administrative fee of $50, plus any difference in course price, will apply to change to the correct course.

In the unlikely event that Barkley & Associates, Inc. has to cancel a course for reasons beyond their control, including but not limited to insufficient enrollment, acts of God or nature, strikes, war, terrorist acts, hotel labor disputes, disease (e.g., epidemics, pandemics), civil disturbances, travel advisories, or other government restrictions, the liability of Barkley & Associates, Inc. shall be limited to a refund of the attendee’s course registration fee.

Special seating accommodations for our In-Person Courses and extended time to take the Diagnostic Readiness Tests are a couple examples of accommodations for accessibility that Barkley & Associates will make for customers. For attendees with a disability who require a special accommodation, please contact CustomerService@NPcourses.com.
