Refund Policy | Velocity Training™

Refund Policy

Updated On: September 21, 2025 •

What this means for you Important

  • Online courses: Generally non-refundable. Documented emergencies may qualify for a $50 hold/resume.
  • Classroom courses: No refunds within 30 days of the start date. Earlier cancellations may incur admin/material charges; conversions may be available.
  • Conversions: Many cases allow conversion to an online course of equal value to reduce/avoid fees.
  • How to request: Email [email protected] (written requests only). Support: [email protected] • 888.491.0336.
  • Refund method: Approved refunds return to the original payment method.

Do you offer refunds for online courses?

Because online access is immediate and irrevocable, refunds are generally not provided. In documented, extreme extenuating circumstances (e.g., Acts of Nature preventing you from continuing), we may place your training on hold and allow a later resume for a $50 administrative fee.

What is the classroom cancellation window?

No refunds within 30 days of the published classroom start date. If you cancel more than 30 days prior, administrative and/or materials access charges may apply; conversion to an online course of equal value may be offered.

If Velocity Training cancels a classroom class, what happens?

You may choose a 100% refund (typically issued within 7–10 business days) or transfer to another confirmed date/location at no fee. After you transfer, refunds aren’t available.

Can I switch to an online course to avoid a fee?

Often yes. Depending on timing and whether pre-class study materials were sent, you can convert to an online course of equal value (e.g., 60-day or 30-day access) to avoid certain fees.

What if I don’t use my access or forget to attend?

We don’t refund for missed use due to work schedules, vacations, forgetfulness, or lack of motivation. If your online access expires, you can re-enroll in the same course type at a 50% discount off the public list price.

How do I request a refund or conversion?

All requests must be made in writing to [email protected]. Include your full name, order email, course name, purchase date, and a short explanation. Documentation may be required for extenuating circumstances.

How are refunds paid, if approved?

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. Processing times vary by payment provider.

Are there separate refund rules for your safety-course site?

Yes. Safety courses hosted at vtes.otsystems.net have a separate refund policy and are not covered by this page.

This FAQ is a summary. The full Refund Policy below controls if there’s any conflict.

5) Online Course Refunds

  • Because online access is immediate and irrevocable, refunds are generally not provided.
  • In documented, extreme extenuating circumstances (e.g., Acts of Nature preventing you from continuing), we may place your training on hold and allow you to resume later; a $50 administrative fee applies.
  • No refunds for missed use due to work schedules, vacations, forgetfulness, or lack of motivation.
  • If your access expires and you wish to continue, you may enroll in the same course type at a 50% discount off the public list price (also applies when changing access-length options).

6) Classroom Course Refunds

When you submit a registration for a scheduled classroom offering, we reserve your seat and may adjust venue commitments. Payments are processed within 24 hours. The following rules apply:

If Velocity Training cancels

  • You may choose a 100% refund (typically issued within 7–10 business days) or transfer to another confirmed class date/location at no fee. After you transfer, refunds are not available.

If you cancel

  • Within 30 days of the published class start: no refund. You may convert to a 7-day online course at no additional cost.
  • More than 30 days before the published class start: refund less a 20% administrative charge. If pre-class study materials were sent before we receive your request, refund less a 50% materials access charge. Alternatively, you may convert to a 60-day online course of equal value to avoid the fee.
  • No-shows without timely written notice: not eligible for a refund or conversion.
  • Transfers you initiate to another classroom date/location do not entitle you to a refund or a conversion to an online program and may incur fees as stated.

7) Refund Method

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method only. Processing times vary by payment provider.

8) Additional Notes

  • Administrative and/or materials charges are applied before calculating any refund amount.
  • Request timelines are determined by the timestamp of our inbox receipt.
  • Velocity Training may update this policy; the version in effect is the one posted here on the date listed above.
