2.9.2 PMI Policies regarding The PMI Authorized PMP Exam Prep Course
PMI has imposed the following two policies on all PMI authorized courses:
● All PMP prep courses are “Guaranteed to run”. This means that the training organizationis not permitted to cancel a class once it is scheduled. Therefore, we require that ourstudents give us at least 8days’ noticeif they need to cancel so that we can refill theirseat.
● A second PMI policy states that certificates of attendance may only be issued to thosestudents who attended the complete course. Due to this PMI requirement, we are unable
to issue a refund or certificate to anyone who does not attend the full course.These two PMI policies make it necessary for us to strictly implement the following OSPpolicies around refunds:
2.9.3 Refunds
● Per PMI policy, access keys (to obtain the PMI courseware) are non-refundable. Due tothis PMI policy, we are unable to issue a refund for an access key once it has been issuedto you, regardless of whether or not it has been activated.
● A full refund (less the cost of the PMI access key, if applicable) will be issued forcancellations 8 days or more prior to the first day of the course.
● A 50% refund (less the cost of the PMI access key, if applicable) will be issued forcancellations 1–7 days prior to the first day of the course.
●No refunds will be issued for cancellations beginning on the first day of the course.

1 day (or a total of 8 hours) of the live class.
