Terms & Conditions Revised January 2024
Registration and Refund Policy
For CPR/AED/ First aid and babysitter training classes, you are entitled to a partial refund in the event you cancel your enrollment at least 48 hours before the course starts. You will receive the course fee back minus $75 for American Red Cross/ AHA/ HSI CPR courses. NO REFUNDS will be provided to customers who are registered for American Red Cross/ AHA/ or HSI CPR/AED/ First Aid training less than 48 hours. For American Red Cross Lifeguard Training, American Red Cross/ AHA Instructor Training, and our Certified Pool Operator Courses you can receive a partial refund up until 7 days before the class minus a $255 fee. NO REFUNDS will be provided less than 7 days before the course as our vendors will not provide us a refund for any last minute cancellations. Refunds can take up to 90 days. The reason why we charge for no-shows and course cancellations is that it is difficult to get a customer last minute to replace the individual who does not show up in the class or for the customer who cancels. Also, we do not get a refund for classroom space, class training equipment, or any last minute preparations preparing for your class. The moment you register is the moment we start working on your individual training. Please note that it is the individual customer or organization contact’s responsibility to check to see which certification program they need to take. NO REFUNDS will be given when a customer or organization needs to switch to another certification training program as we offer ALL training programs required. There will be a class transfer fee if you ask to transfer less than 48 hours before your class. Additionally, there will be no "refunds" for any acts of war (whether declared or not), hostilities, invasion, an act of foreign enemies, terrorism or civil disorder; an act of God (such as but not limited to, fires, explosions, earthquakes, drought, tidal waves, and floods). There will also be NO REFUNDS for Pandemic or Epidemic crises.

I. Classroom/Web Based Courses (Blended Learning): The State of New Jersey Health Department has approved “Certifications For Life, LLC.” the American Red Cross, HSI, and AHA to administer blended learning courses. Blended learning classes are web-based courses in which customers choose to do 50% of the course work online and 50% in a skills practice on the appropriate equipment under the supervision of a certified, trained American Red Cross/ HSI/AHA Instructor. ALL online course work is to be completed before the start of the skills session. The participant is expected to bring the proper identification and online completion certificate to enter the class and receive the appropriate certifications. “Certifications For Life, LLC.” is ONLY responsible for providing customers with the appropriate direct link access (online learning management system access), appropriate course textbook, classroom equipment, trained instructors, and a highly informative skill session. “Certifications For Life, LLC.” does NOT own or have any administrative access to your online learning management-portal from any of the training programs. This online learning management-portal is managed and created by the program you registered for such as American Red Cross, Health and Safety Institute, and American Heart Association. Therefore, Certifications For Life, LLC is NOT responsible for any troubleshooting, difficulty with access, completion, or loss of progress with this online learning management system. Certifications For Life, LLC is ONLY responsible for the in-person class training sessions. All difficulties, questions, or concerns with the online learning management system need to be communicated with the appropriate agency's customer support number and appropriate email address. Please send all documentation and your case id number to us, so we can assist with your in-person training session. It is the customer's responsibility to notify “Certifications For Life, LLC” of any technical issues that are faced in conjunction with contacting the appropriate agencies and retrieving the appropriate documentation. It is important to note that “Certifications For Life, LLC” is ONLY responsible for the teaching points that the American Red Cross/ Health and Safety Institute, and American Heart Association provide instructors from the nationally-approved Instructor’s manual. Moreover, the participant/guardian agreeing to the Terms and Conditions needs to be aware that the American Red Cross/Health and Safety Institute, and American Heart Association decide which key skills and lecture content is presented.
III. Illness/Personal Emergencies: “Certifications For Life, LLC” understands that sudden illnesses and emergencies happen and are out of your control. American Red Cross training courses have attendance requirements to meet state and local protocols. If you cannot attend a course due to an unexpected illness or family emergency, you will be placed into the next available class at no additional fee (provided you bring the appropriate documentation from a verified source supporting your absence). “Certifications For Life, LLC.” reserves the right to determine whether or not the documentation is sufficient for no additional charges. If there is no documentation sent in or if “Certifications For Life, LLC.” feels that your documentation does not meet course policies, then you will have to repay for the whole course. Please read about the additional fees for Blended Learning Courses regarding having to cancel your skills session or online session due to personal emergencies or sudden illnesses.
IV. Certification Status: Once the instructor has advised that you passed, certifications will be processed and delivered electronically by email directly from the American Red Cross, HSI, or AHA . It is the responsibility of the customer to check their individual email inboxes including their spam folders for receipt of their certifications. Any customer requests for certifications that have been expired for more than 30 days will be referred to reach out to the training agency for copies of their certifications as we will not be able to provide a copy. Each class has testing requirements needed to earn certification status. “Certifications For Life Inc.” has a responsibility to report all activity to the American Red Cross/ HSI/ AHA and State. It is the discretion of the trained Instructor based on the course requirements to determine whether an individual has met these standards. Failure to meet these testing requirements will result in having to repay for another class. Again, there are NO REFUNDS. Certifications are processed after the following steps have taken place within 5 -20 business days depending on the certification program you registered for and the following has been submitted to the appropriate coordinators: (1) Your instructor has informed the above customer that they have successfully met all course objectives. (2) Payments, signed Terms and Conditions, and registration forms are completed. (3) The instructor/ Instructor trainer has submitted the paperwork and the paperwork has been approved by the appropriate coordinator. Failure to make payments and return the above paperwork will result in a delay in the above customer’s certification being processed. If payment/paperwork is not made within 12 months, then “Certifications For Life, LLC.” will not process the above customer’s certification and will direct them to retake their course.
V. Equipment Returns: All equipment purchases are final upon sale. There are no refunds.
VI. Account Security: “Certifications For Life, LLC.” requires every customer to fill out an account. Each account is protected by a series of questions only by an adult 18 years of age or older. “Certifications For Life, LLC.” will release account information to ONLY law enforcement with/ or without a subpoena. Accounts can only be filled out if the individual customer is at least 18 years of age or older. Communication and billing will be the responsibility of the Parent or Guardian, or adult who is listed as the billing contact. Employers and supervisors can fill out accounts for their staff members, but they need to inform their staff members of our policies to avoid any confusion, miscommunication, and our expectations. Employers need to keep in mind that the ‘certification’ belongs to the staff member participating in the course regardless of who pays for the course per industry guidelines. The Customer Support Center will ask customers security questions in order to validate the individual over the phone. If a customer refuses or fails to answer the security questions regarding the account, the customer service representative will notify that the information provided is incorrect and that the call must end.
