11. Refund Policy

We believe that our products are of exceptional value and that our clients will be completely satisfied with the content, reliability, and service we provide.  Therefore, we offer a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee – no questions asked. To be eligible for a refund, customers must not have accessed any Final Quiz and/or any Certificate of Completion. No refunds after 30 days of purchase. Administrative fees may apply depending on the case. For single Continuing Education Courses, no refunds after 30 days or if more than 40% of the course has been marked complete.

12. Course Participation Policy

Students who are seeking to obtain a Final Certificate of Completion must duly finish each and every exercise in the program as indicated by the instructor, and in the expected timeframe. The evaluation tool to assess the learning of the material is done through formative assessment (quizzing throughout the program). No final summative exam will be required to exit the course; therefore, it is imperative that students save their coursework and assignments to demonstrate their full participation and completion of all the training hours in the program. MITS will document scores, logins, and timestamps in its computer system; however, in case of discrepancies, the student will be required to submit copies of their coursework for verification of participation and successful completion.

13. Time Limit for Course Completion

For students enrolled in the 40- hours program, the time limit for completing the 40 hours of training (10 core modules) is 12 months from the date of purchase. After the expiration of the course, all modules will be removed from the student’s profile, including all complementary materials. Students who do not complete their course within the one-year timeframe may purchase a one-time Extension of three months for a $100 fee. You will not be eligible for an Extension if your course has been expired for more than 12 months. If the account has been expired for over a year, you will have to pay in full again to regain access.

For students enrolled in a 4-hour Continuing Education class, the time limit for completing the four hours of training is three months from the date of purchase. After the expiration of the class, the module will be removed from the student’s profile. Students who do not complete their class within three months may purchase a one-month Extension for a $15.00 fee. Please contact us for details. 

To be eligible for an Extension students must submit their request by email no later than three months after expiration. 

14. Final Certificate of Completion Policy

A 40-hour Certificate of Completion will only be issued after participants successfully complete the training program in its entirety. The minimum number of days to complete the 40 hours of training is (6) days. The maximum number of content hours to take per day are eight (2 modules). No final 40-hour Certificate of Completion will be issued sooner than six days after registration or to those exceeding eight hours of content per day.

MITS reserves the right to request further documentation, such as worksheets, glossaries, certificates, and recordings if we believe that the information in our records does not show sufficient proof of successful completion or appropriate time frame as indicated above. Thus, students are required to keep copies of all their coursework (i.e., worksheets and recordings) to support the completion of the training program.
