Terms: In-Person Courses and Live Webinars



  • Guarantee

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.



  • Information

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.

  • Cancellations/Refunds

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

  • Force Majeure

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.
