HISTORIAL DE ENTRENAMIENTOS El costo del documento de sus entrenamientos que aparecen en nuestras computadoras es de $10. 24 Training Policies Registration and Payment Advance registration and pre-payment are required to enroll in a training and receive a certificate at the end of the seminar. We must receive EIP award notification prior to the seminar or full payment – cash, check, or credit card. Apply for EIP 3-4 weeks before the seminar. If you pay in advance, a refund will be issued upon receipt of EIP award notification. Please completely fill out a separate registration form for each person and keep a copy for your records. No phone registrations will be accepted without credit card payment. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover. There is a $30 fee for returned checks. Certificates You are responsible for maintaining your training certificates and training records. There will be a $5 fee for each duplicate certificate requested ($5 fee is waived for CCRR members). You must arrive on time and remain for the entire seminar to receive credit and a certificate. Doors will be locked 15 minutes after the training starts. If you arrive after that, you will not be allowed in. Please be on time. Sometimes seminars take longer than anticipated and sometimes they end early. CCRR will not change the time on the certificates. So, if you get out a few minutes early, consider it a gift of time. If the seminar takes longer than anticipated, consider it a gift of knowledge! SUNY Videos Participants must arrive at 6:45pm. No one will be admitted once the video begins (SUNY requirements). American Red Cross Training Participants must arrive at least 15 minutes before scheduled start time. American Red Cross policies do not allow us to admit anyone once the training has begun. CDA Renewal There is a $10 administration fee for CEU transcripts for CDA renewal ($10 fee is waived for CCRR members). Training Records There is a $10 fee for a computer listing of your training record ($10 fee is waived for CCRR members). Fees In honor of CCRR’s 40th Anniversary, we are pleased to offer 4 hours of training for $40. Take any two seminars found on pages 6 to 13 for $40! Co-workers, friends, and relatives may register together and take advantage of this special offer. Or you may register for 2 seminars yourself! This only applies when 2 seminars are registered and paid for at the same time. Otherwise, all seminars will remain $30 for members and $70 for non-members, unless otherwise indicated. For membership information call (845) 425-0009 x0. This special rate does not apply to American Red Cross Training, Health and Safety, MAT and Alone at the Top. Confirmations Confirmation calls will not be made. Your registration form and cancelled check will serve as your confirmation. You may call (845) 425-0009 ext. 0 to check that your registration has been received. Credits, Refunds and Cancellations There are NO refunds or rescheduling for missed classes. Child Care Resources of Rockland, Inc. reserves the right to cancel any seminar if fewer than five people enroll. If classes are cancelled due to low enrollment, or inclement weather, participants will be notified by telephone. A full refund will be issued or the participant can choose to register for another seminar. Please be sure to include a phone number where you can be reached in case of a seminar cancellation. In case of inclement weather, listen to radio station WHUD (FM 100.7) or go to cancellations.com. The decision to cancel workshops due to inclement weather will be made by 2pm the day of the workshop. If you do not receive a call canceling the training, you can call (845) 425 – 0009 ext. 0 before 5:00pm to check on that evening’s activities. Children 25 The presence of children, including babies, at trainings is very distracting. DO NOT BRING CHILDREN OF ANY AGE to the seminars or videos. If your child accompanies you, you will not be allowed to remain. We do not provide child care, nor do we allow any children in the office while seminars are being presented. While we understand that this may be a hardship, please do not place us in a position where we have to deny you access. Call (845) 425-0009 ext. 459 to find out what other kinds of training opportunities are available to you. Registration Form Please complete this 2-page form for each person.
