HOLISTIC NUTRITION WEIGHT LOSS COACH CERTIFICATION PROGRAM REFUND POLICY
The deposit for this program is non-refundable but can be used as a credit toward future programs in the event you need to cancel your registration at anytime for first time enrollees only.
To receive the refund, after participating in the program for 14 days following the start date and you show us that you’ve kept up with all the work including classes, quizzes, assignments and practical hours (you have to show us proof!), and for some crazy reason DO you not feel like you are growing personally and professionally, then we will be happy to return the investment.
But, you DO have to do the work.
The Holistic Nutrition Weight Loss program is for women who are committed to learning and growing in the nutrition, weight loss, and wellness fields, who want to spread the healthy love and get more clients, and NOT for people who just want to collect a piece paper to say they have it.
And we will be strict on this last point – you absolutely must do the work and submit within 14 days* to be eligible for a refund. In the event that you decide your purchase was not the right decision, within 14 days of enrollment, contact our support team at hwle@fitchicks.ca and let us know you’d like a refund by the 14th day at 11:59 EST. You must include your coursework with your request for a refund. If you request a refund and do not include your coursework by the 14th day, you will not be granted a refund. There’s so much transformation waiting for you on the other side of this program, and since our main goal is for you to succeed, we aren’t afraid to give you some tough FIT CHICKS love when it comes to holding you accountable.
*Refunds will only be issued if all complete work is submitted by day 14 following program start date to fne@fitchicks.ca. If proof of work is not submitted by Day 14 following your registration date, no refunds will be granted. No exceptions or extensions will be provided. No refunds will be issued after 14 days of your registration date including the deposit for the program or if proof of work has not been submitted up to standard.
The work that you need to submit with your request for a refund includes ALL of the following items:
HWLC Assignment 1
Quizzes 1 -2
All payments for this program are 100% non-refundable after the 14 days of purchase in the event you need to cancel your registration. We will NOT provide refunds more than 14 days following your registration date. After day 14, all payments are non-refundable and you are responsible for full payment of the fees for the program regardless if you complete the program. No refunds will be issued.
Please note: If you opted for a payment plan and you do not request a refund within 14 days, with the required coursework at the time of your refund request, you are required by law to complete the remaining payments of your payment plan.
PROGRAM TRANSFER POLICY
We understand that you may need to change programs due to various reasons. Our transfer policy allows first-time enrollees to transfer to another program. The following guidelines must be adhered to for a successful transfer application:
Timing: The transfer request must be made within the first 30 days of the program start date. Any request received after the deadline will not be considered.
Eligibility: The transfer option is only available for first-time enrollees.
Fees: The fees for the new program may differ from the previous one, and it is the student’s responsibility to pay the difference. Additionally, there will be a $97 administrative fee for all transfers.
Course Schedule: Transferring students will be advised on the new course schedule based on their new program of study.
Limitations: Students can only transfer to another program once. Any subsequent transfer requests will not be considered.
At the end of the transfer process, the student must comply with the same academic policies, rules, and regulations that apply to their new program of study. We hope that this policy has been helpful in outlining the steps required to apply for a transfer to another program within the first 30 days of the program start date.
