The QoS of video conferencing tools like Zoom, although generally very good, can vary unexpectedly across different geographical regions. Unfortunately, all that is beyond our control and we cannot be held responsible for any problems with those services.

As proof of completing each course, you will recieve an official Guerrilla certificate (complete with gold star) declaring that you have satisfied the requirements for that level. These certificates won't help you get into Harvard (as far as I know), but that's not the point. They can be very important when it comes to your promotion and paycheck because it helps your manager identify a certified skill-level on your performance review. In fact, the Guerrilla certificates came into existence at the request of managers.

5.2  Meals

Lunch is provided each day at different local restaurants.

5.3  Cutoff

The early-bird cutoff date is 30 days prior to the start date of the class. This means you will have to organize funding with your management earlier than that.

5.4  Equipment

If possible, please bring a laptop with you. Almost everyone does this now. It makes it easier to distribute notes (as PDFs) and you can also can use Excel, PDQ, R, and other analysis tools in class.

5.5  Recording

We are not set up for on-demand video or audio recordings of Guerrilla classes at this time. Similarly, no personal recording, either audio or video, of any Guerrilla training session is permitted. Some exceptional circumstances may arise but those cases should be agreed to, in writing, beforehand by contacting Performance Dynamics Educational Services.

6  Terms and Conditions

6.1  Tuition Fee

Early Bird means you must be registered as stated in section 5.3 in advance of the course.

6.2  Discounts

Corporate discounts for three (3) or more people from the same company are also available. Enquire when you book. Once a seat is booked, a penalty of $500 will be imposed for a one-time transfer of that seat to another session date. Inability to attend after such a one-time transfer will automatically forfeit the entire registration fee.

6.3  Refunds

Requests for refunds must be received in writing at least 30 days before the start date of the course. Substitutions may be made at any time.
