Terms & Conditions
When choosing to participate in a Canadian Red Cross course with Professional Medic Training & Events Ltd. (aka: PMTE), you agree to the following terms and conditions. Any and all terms & conditions not met will result in being removed from the course and forfeiting any fees paid.
• PMTE strives to provide a safe and appropriate learning environment for all participant. Any disruptive or threatening language/behaviour towards staff and/or participants will not be tolerated. If PMTE staff feel a threat is being posed, the staff person may take any action to discuss the matter with the participant, ask the participant to leave the course immediately, and/or call the police/RCMP. If participant(s) are asked to leave for this reason, they forfeit any course fees, will not receive a certificate, and will not be welcomed back to future courses through PMTE.
• No recording, photographing, or electronic devices are permitted for use in the in-class portion of the course. We respect our participants have lives outside of the course, and have no problem if you need to take care of personal matters such as family, however, if you are being a distraction to the class and/or have missed 15 minutes or more, you will either be asked to leave or will not be permitted to reenter into the course as Red Cross requires participants to be present for 100% of the course to receive a certificate. If you are asked to leave the course, you forfeit all course fees.
• PMTE staff can not predict participants personal health limitations, and therefore ask that if you are unsure if you will be able to perform any/all task required to complete the course, please discuss with your doctor PRIOR to registering for the course. If limitations do exist, please discuss with PMTE staff PRIOR to registering for a course to see if you qualify for participating in or not. By registering in the course, you understand and accept any inherent risk involved.
• Online access will be released after payment and registration have been processed for Blended Delivery courses. It is the responsibility of participants to connect with PMTE for ensuring you have the resources required for the course (as stated on our website in course description). PMTE will provide an eBook. The participant MUST register for an in-class portion of the course to take place within 6 weeks (at the latest) from completion of the online portion of the course. As per Canadian Red Cross regulations, any participant who does not complete the combined online and in-class portion within 6 weeks of each other forfeits the validity of the online pin (despite whether the online portion was completed or not) and will therefore not receive a certificate. A new pin must be purchased and completed, with a new
in-class date scheduled (within 6 weeks time frame again) in order to receive certification. As this is a Canadian Red Cross requirement, PMTE staff are not permitted to make any changes or exceptions to this regulation.
• As per Canadian Red Cross guidelines for Blended Delivery Courses, the online portion of the course MUST also be completed PRIOR to the in-class portion of the course, no exceptions. Participants receive a completed certificate once the online portion of the course has been completed. Participants are required to bring this to class to show completion of the online portion. If the online portion of the course is NOT completed prior to the course, the PMTE instructor is NOT to permitted participant(s) into the in-class portion. If there is another class occurring within the 6 weeks time frame of when the participant received their pin AND space is available, at the discretion
of PMTE staff, the participant may be permitted to reschedule into a later class, however, if for any reason PMTE is not able to accommodate rescheduling the participant into a later in-class course date, the participant then understands and agrees they forfeit any fees paid for the course, and a certificate will not be issued. A new online pin and in-class course will be required to receive certification. As this is a Canadian Red Cross requirement, PMTE staff are not permitted to make any changes or exceptions to this regulation.
• Withdrawals & Cancellations, aside from the above mentioned regulations, if withdrawing/cancelling course(s) greater than 5 business days PRIOR to the scheduled in-class portion of the course and prior to logging into online pin, PMTE will refund the fees of the course less a $30 per participant administration fee. Courses can not be refunded once online pin has been accessed. If withdrawing/cancelling course(s) less than 5 business days PRIOR to the scheduled in-class portion of the course, refunds will not be given. If a future class is taking place, which does not conflict with above mentioned regulations, transfers may occur provided there is space and availability in the course and the courses matches the one previously registered for. Transfers are not guaranteed and should not be relied on.
• Late arrivals (at either the start or returning from a break) of more than 15 minutes will result in the participant(s) not being permitted into the course and all course fees will be forfeit. No cancellations or transfers will be permitted. Failure to attend a course, or missing more than 15 minutes of the course, results in an automatic fail, dismissal, and forfeiture of the course/fees. 100% attendance and participation is mandatory by Canadian Red Cross for successful completion of a course.
