HNS may accept credit card, debit card, e-transfer and cash where available. Online payments may be processed through third-party payment providers such as Square.

Transfer requests are considered case by case and require HNS approval. Availability may depend on registration, online-course and certification requirements.

Cancellation AND Rescheduling

What is the cancellation policy?

Eligible cancellations received at least 48 hours before the scheduled class start time may qualify for a refund, provided an applicable online or blended-learning component has not already been accessed or started.

Read Refund Policy →

Participants may request one reschedule at no additional rescheduling fee when HNS receives the request at least 48 hours before the scheduled class start time. The new class is subject to availability.

Cancellation AND Rescheduling Policy →

Cancellations received less than 48 hours before the scheduled class start time are generally non-refundable, subject to rights provided by applicable law.

A participant who does not attend the scheduled class without the required notice is generally not eligible for a refund or free reschedule.

HNS will first attempt to transfer the participant to an appropriate replacement class. If an appropriate replacement cannot reasonably be arranged, a refund may be available.

Certification AND Course Requirements

Does attending a course guarantee certification?

No. Participants must complete all applicable attendance, practical skills, knowledge, assessment and training-provider requirements.

Yes. Full attendance may be required to successfully complete the course and applicable certification requirements.

Participants who arrive too late to complete required instructional time or training components may be refused entry. A booking lost because of late arrival is generally non-refundable.

Where an online component is required, it must be completed before attending the applicable in-person training. A participant who has not completed the required online portion may not be permitted to attend.

Certificate validity depends on the applicable course and training-provider requirements. Review the specific course information or contact HNS if you need guidance.
