What if I can’t attend a session I registered for?

We understand that unplanned or unexpected events come up. Due to the popularity and high demand for this program that is currently free to participants, please review the following guidelines, established to reduce the number of last-minute cancellations and no-shows and ensure that those who sign up for the program have the time commitment to attend the classes:

  • Participants who miss two sessions without prior notice (no-shows) will be removed from the program
  • Participants who cancel three times with less than 48 hours’ notice will also be removed from the program

To avoid scheduling conflicts, we strongly encourage you to speak with your supervisor or manager, if applicable, before registering to ensure you have their support and the time available to attend.
