Withdrawals and Refunds

When you are accepted to the apprenticeship program, we reserve the spot just for you. Since spaces are limited, this often means we end up turning away applicants once the program is full. As such, we ask that you do your very best to commit to the program when you apply.

However, we understand that circumstances change and ask that if you do need to cancel, you let us know as soon as possible. A $200 non-refundable deposit will apply.

Anyone withdrawing from the program by the end of the first week shall be entitled to a full refund of all fees paid, less the $200 non-refundable deposit and a 25% administrative fee.

Anyone withdrawing from the program after the first week shall forfeit all fees.
