Registration, Cancellation and Transfer Policy
Read this Policy carefully- regardless of the nature of your cancellation or transfer request (illness, injury, family emergency, work responsibility, etc.) the terms of this policy will apply to your Registration! The Adventure Risk Management Registration, Cancellation and Transfer Policy is based upon our goal to deliver quality, well-planned courses for our clients. Late cancellations and transfers place courses at risk of cancellation, creating hardship and frustration for other registered clients. Further, once a client is confirmed on a course, Adventure Risk Management incurs multiple expenses that cannot be recovered after a cancellation.

Updated Policy due to COVID-19 impacts
Given the rapidly changing conditions created by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adventure Risk Management will be seeking to strike a balance between the well-being of our clients, the continued need for this type of training for professional reasons, and the financial impacts cancellations have on our ability to continue to offer these courses. Cancellation or Transfer requests will be handled under the following terms:
If Adventure Risk Management cancels a course directly related to COVID-19 impacts:
- 100% tuition credit towards any 2020 course, OR
- Refund of tuition, minus $150 non-transfer fee (and textbook costs, if applicable)
Cancellation or Transfer requests received related to a course that is scheduled to run will be subject the normal policy described below.

In the event of such cancellation (non-COVID-19 related), you will receive a full refund, or you may transfer to another Course with no additional fee. Adventure Risk Management will not be financially responsible for any client travel or lodging expenses, or for any other client preparations made for a Course or Event.
