General Refund policies:

Full Refunds

We will refund 100% of your purchase price for any reason, so long as 1) it is within 30 days of the purchase date, 2) 10% or less of the course is completed, and 3) no completion certificate has been generated. Refund requests should be sent to [email protected].

Partial Refunds/Sale Adjustments

If a course goes on sale within 3 days after you purchase the course, you may request a partial refund to adjust the price to the sale price, and retain access to the course. Refund requests should be sent to [email protected].

If a course is purchased during a sale period, qualifies for the sale price, and for any reason the full price is charged, you may request a partial refund to adjust the price to the sale price, and retain access to the course. Refund requests should be sent to [email protected].

Some courses (including but not limited to our Hands-On Courses) will have additional Terms and Conditions as a condition of enrollment.
