    Putting on a traveling workshop is tough for a small business, so we request as much planning as possible from our students. That being said, things happen, and we get it! We try to be as flexible as possible until close the start date, and we try to offer as much flexibility as we can while adhering to our obligations as CPHT Exam proctors. Please read our Cancellations and Refunds Policy, and reach out as soon as you have any questions. Advanced communication helps us so much.
