Payment policy

Payment must be received prior to the start of the course to maintain your registration. Registrants may pay via our three methods of payment. Your registration confirmation email serves as your invoice/receipt.

Attendance policy

Thank you for your interest in taking a course from CEND. We are excited to have you join us.

Credentials and certificates demonstrate the learning of relevant skills and commitment to a profession. Employers – including in the nonprofit sector – take credentials and certificates into account when hiring new staff members, encouraging the professional development of current staff, and assessing readiness to be promoted. CEND’s course credentials and certificates are highly valued in these ways by nonprofit employers.

In addition, you have made a significant investment in time and money to attend this course. Each session is important and related to other sessions in the course. Travel arrangements and other appointments should be planned around the class schedule.

In-Person Courses

For in-person courses participation in all scheduled days of the program is mandatory. Participants who miss more than two hours of the entire program will not be eligible to receive the certificate. Travel arrangements and other appointments should be planned around the class schedule. Attendance is taken daily.

If a participant misses the first day of a course, they will need to transfer to a different available course. All cancellations and transfers are subject to an administrative fee of Ghc 100.

Virtual (Live) Courses

For courses five sessions or longer, one missed live session can be made up by listening to a session recording in full and provide written responses to key questions from the session. Participants who miss more than one live session will not be eligible to receive the certificate of completion.

For courses with four or fewer sessions, attendance at all live sessions is required to receive a certificate.

If a participant misses the first session of a course, they will need to transfer to a different available course. All cancellations and transfers are subject to an administrative fee of Ghc100.

Cancellation/transfer policy

All cancellations and transfer requests must be in writing (may be sent via email to register@cendconsult.org) and received at least two weeks prior to the start of the class. All cancellations and transfers are subject to an administrative fee of Ghc100. Registrants who do not cancel or transfer the minimum two weeks in advance, or do not attend, are liable for the entire fee. We cannot hold a credit for any reason.

If you are unable to attend a course after registering, you have three options:

• Transfer your registration by designating, in writing, the alternative date you will attend (Ghc100 administrative fee).
• Designate an alternate person to attend in your place (no fee).
• Receive a refund, minus the Ghc100 administrative fee.
