Everything you need to know about certificate acceptance, completion, refunds, and privacy.
We are trusted and approved by over 10,000 schools and organizations nationwide. We have the tightest security in the industry, and because of it, we have earned the trust of over 10,000 agencies and organizations.
We know our programs can stand up to the toughest scrutiny. Cheating? Not going to happen. Skipping through a course? Not going to happen either. Zoning out? Impossible. Poor content? Our programs are written and developed by experts, and we add color and interest to this useful information through videos, pictures, and the kinds of questions that make you think. All this and more is wrapped into each course. So if your school would like to verify participation, we are just a call away.
We stand behind our products and services. As a result, we offer an Acceptance Guarantee on all of our certificates. If your school or organization does not accept your certificate, we will refund your entire course fee. First, however, we will work diligently on your behalf to have your certificate accepted. In the event the agency still does not accept your certificate, we will refund your entire course fee. Please see our Refund Policy below for more details.
National Online Training / School Impact hereby agrees to provide the party, hereinafter referred to as the "student," with an Alternative Education / Behavior course. Online courses are to be completed within 90 days. After 90 days, the course is considered "Expired" (see the Extensions section below if an extension is needed).
By enrolling in the program, you acknowledge and understand you must do the following to receive a Certificate of Completion:
Students have two options for requesting a refund. Students can request a refund based on a rejected course/certificate, or based on our Satisfaction Guarantee. Details are listed below.
The student can request a full refund when:
The student can cancel a course for any reason and receive a refund, subject to an $18.00 administrative fee, when:
At various points throughout the online course, our system will ask True/False, Multiple-Choice, Short Essay, and Verification questions. Students are required to answer these questions to demonstrate knowledge gained and to prove their participation throughout the course. Failure to participate and answer these questions will result in failure of the course and, potentially, forfeiture of the course fee. Please see our Failure Policy below for more details.
True/False and Multiple-Choice questions must be answered with an overall accuracy of 70% or better, both throughout the course and on the Final Exam. Their purpose is to demonstrate knowledge gained throughout the course.
Verification questions are required to prove participation. If the student does not answer a Verification question correctly, they will be given another opportunity to answer in order to advance. Failing to correctly answer the Verification question will result in a score of 0% for that chapter.
Short Essay questions are required both to demonstrate knowledge gained and to prove participation throughout the course. If the student does not provide a valid response to the essay question, it will be marked "Incorrect." Participation in Short Essay questions is required and will affect the overall grade.
In the event of failure of the course or Final Exam, students are allowed to retake the Final Exam and/or any failed chapters in an attempt to improve their grade and pass. This right is granted so long as an "Honest Attempt" was made to complete the course. An Honest Attempt is described as when the student reasonably and thoughtfully participated in the course but had a lack of understanding (such as a language barrier). In this case, the student proved they participated but did not receive a 70% or better.
However, if the student fails in an attempt to circumvent the course, they also forfeit the right to retake any failed sections and the course fee. Students will not be eligible for a refund in this circumstance. It will be at the discretion of National Online Training / School Impact whether a retake is given without charge, with an administration fee, or at the full price of the course. Examples of course circumventions include: failure to reasonably answer Short Essay questions, failure to correctly answer Verification questions, and attempts to cheat the system or its timers.
After registering for a course, students are allowed 90 days to complete it. If an extension is needed, the student will need to contact National Online Training / School Impact. Extensions will be granted at no charge to the student so long as they are requested no more than 15 days after expiration. The amount of time granted for an extension may be up to 90 additional days. The length of the extension will be determined based on the requests of the student and at the discretion of National Online Training / School Impact.
Extensions requested more than 15 days after expiration are still likely to be granted at no charge when requested within a reasonable amount of time. However, this is done at the discretion of National Online Training / School Impact.
