Gatlin Certificate Programs: The majority of GES programs can be completed within 90 to 180 days. Since our
programs are self-paced, it has been our policy to work with
students until they are able to complete their program. When
students need more time, we are happy to accommodate their
needs. If a student, for whatever reason, is not able to continue
with their training, we will make arrangements for the student to
take time off and complete their course when it is convenient for
them. The only reason we would give a refund would be if we
fail to perform. If it is our fault the student is not able to complete
their program, we will give the student a full refund. If a student
simply wants to withdraw and will not accept our policy to defer
their training, they are not entitled to a refund. Students are given
all materials and complete access to their entire course upon
registration, so partial refunds are not an option. The basic GES
policy on refunds is that once the course is accessed either by
requesting materials or viewing lessons there are no refunds.
