Certificate Program Fees

The Certificate in Global Business Strategy is a series of six seminars.

However, with a policy of "try before you buy", a person may attend one seminar at the standard rate of $395 and pay the balance if they choose to continue with the Certificate Program.

Group Discount

20% = >5 participants enrolled

Cancellation Policy

When paying for individual seminars, those who cancel at least seven days before the start date will receive a full refund; those who cancel less than seven days before the start date will pay a $55 change fee and receive a credit for the remaining amount paid to be applied towards a future seminar.

Those who have paid for the full Certificate Program will be billed a $55 change fee for:

    • seminar no-shows
    • failing to cancel registration within 7 days before the beginning of that seminar. Registration may be cancelled by phone or email communication.

Certificate Program participants will be unable to obtain their completion certificate if there are outstanding amounts due on their account.
