If we receive a written request to cancel less than 30 days before the start date, there will be a 50% refund per student.

If Emu cancels a Training session prior to the start date due to low enrollment, inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances, the customer will be either refunded in full or rescheduled to a later Training session. In the event that Emu is forced to cancel an event once it has already started (due to health concerns, inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances), we will make every effort to reschedule the remaining portion of the session and/or refund each customer after travel expenses have been recouped.

IMPORTANT: Student Computer Literacy Requirements
Each student taking the exam is required to attend the scheduled Tech Check that Emu offers. During this Tech Check, we will walk through how to access the online exam environment, and you will take the PHI Trial Exam. If the student is unable to attend the scheduled Tech Check, there is a “self-guided” option to attempt the Trial Exam, which must be completed as soon as possible. PLEASE NOTE: students must execute the Trial Exam by at least 72 hours before the Exam date, or we will not be able to process the exam and no refund will be issued. Emu makes every effort to support our students in preparing for the online exam environment by offering the self-guided Tech Check as well as one scheduled IT support meeting (at our discretion and subject to availability). However, a basic level of computer literacy is required for this process. Students must know what their Operating System is, how to download and install an application, and how to access downloaded files to run. If a student is unable to meet the Tech Check requirements by no later than 72 hours before the Exam date, we will be unable to allow them access to the Exam Day session. IMPORTANT: These terms apply to every Exam registration, and it should be noted that the student’s ability to perform the Trial Exam can impact the terms of any requested refunds. Please ensure that all students understand.
