Prerequisites
Please check the detailed course description web page for any applicable prerequisite course or knowledge base before registering. ABS Group Training Services assumes all registrants have the necessary prerequisites and will accept no liability if the prerequisites are not met.
Team Discount
The Team Discount is our most popular discount. When you send three or more people from your organization to the same course and provide a single payment, you can deduct 10% from each registration. Registrations must be made at the same time. Take advantage of this opportunity to maximize your team's time and investment.
Combined Course Discounts
Attend multiple courses scheduled in the same week and at the same location and save up to $300. Discount is reflected in Combined Course price.
Email Offer Discount
If you received an email with a special offer, please use the discount code listed in the email when registering. On the payment page of your registration process, enter the discount code in the 'Discount Code' field and press 'Apply'.
Attend a Public Course and Get a Discount on an Onsite Course
Attend one of our public course offerings to get a first-hand view of how our courses can help your team. If you schedule an onsite offering of the same course at your facility within 6 months, we will credit the cost of the public course for one attendee against the onsite course fee. (The credit will be prorated proportionally to the length of the contracted onsite course compared to the length of the public course(s) you attended.)
Payment Options
Payment can be made by major credit card. Credit cards accepted are American Express (AX), Diners Club (DC), Discover (DS), MasterCard (MC) and Visa (VI). Payments can be made by Bank Transfers. Payments made by Bank Transfers are not refundable.
Refund Policy
We understand that issues arise that may prevent you from attending a course. To obtain a refund, please submit your notice of cancellation by e-mail or phone at least 15 business days before the course begins. Cancellations received within 15 business days of the course will not be refunded.
Payments made by Bank Transfers are not refundable. However, you can send a substitute or transfer your registration to a future course offering within the next 12 months.
Did you get your confirmation e-mail?
ABS Group Training Services will send you two types of written (email) notices prior to a course. An acknowledgement notice informs you that we have received your registration request. A separate confirmation email notice will be sent to you when the course is confirmed (approximately four weeks in advance). If you have not received an acknowledgement email within 48 hours of registration and/or a confirmation email within four weeks of the course, please contact Customer Service at 1-865-671-5823.
Privacy Policy
We will treat your information with the same respect and concern we use for our own information. When you register for our courses, the information you provide will be used only to complete your order. We will secure your information by using the appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard against unauthorized use. We will never divulge your e-mail address to third parties, except as required to process your information and for communication between you and the instructor.
Once you have opted into our e-mail distribution list, we may initiate limited communications with you, including our monthly newsletters, course updates and/or promotions. We promise to limit these communications both as to frequency and content, and not to make a nuisance of ourselves. Upon written request, we will remove you immediately from our distribution list.
Travel Policy
ABS Group Training Services is not responsible for the purchase of non-refundable airline tickets/travel arrangements or the cancellation/change fees associated with canceling a flight or other travel arrangements. ABS Group Training Services encourages attendees to call and confirm whether a specific course is confirmed before purchasing nonrefundable/penalty travel arrangements. Courses are subject to cancellation, and course dates and locations are subject to change; under these circumstances our liability is limited to reimbursement of tuition only.
