Refund?May 14, 2013

I'm still interested but I can't attend on that day.
It's the first time I apply to ProZ seminars so I venture to ask, can I be refunded?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Valentina,

Thank you for your interest in the training. Like in other training sessions or events, those that purchase their seats earlier get an "early bird" or cheaper price, and those that purchase later or last minute, get to pay a higher price. We also apply a price increase based on the number of registrants in a course ie. the first 15 pay one price, the next 10 pay another price etc.

In this case the price has slightly increased several times since the date when it was announced to now. Also, the training duration has been increased slightly from one hour to 1.5 hour taking into account registrants' feedback.

It is always advised to secure your seat in advance if you are interested in a course. In this way you get to secure your seat, pay a lower price, and also we get to know in advance if the minimum required to run the course is reached - unfortunately, sometimes we are forced to cancel or reschedule a course if just very few express interest in advance.

Hope this answers your question.

My bests,
Helen
