The books need to be purchased per class, not all at once, over the time of completing the program—usually about two to four years. Most of the titles can be purchased used on Amazon.

Refund Policy

Refunds for single, on-demand classes are not provided for two reasons:
1. The descriptions for the classes listed on the web site include very detailed, extensive information which allows the purchaser to make informed choices regarding what they are purchasing.
2. After the purchase of an on-demand class, the purchaser receives all links for the class within minutes. After these links are received the purchaser has immediate access to listen to the digital audio files and read the handouts and download all files. The product can be consumed (listened to, read and downloaded) upon receipt, with links or downloads kept for later use. On-demand classes are not returnable material products. Therefore, no refunds or exchanges can be made.

Live Classes (live teleclasses or live in-person workshops):
All payments for classes are non-refundable unless the workshop is cancelled by Teresa Wagner, in which case all deposits and payments would be refunded. Individuals who cancel their participation in a live class may offer their paid seat in a class to a friend or other party (and are free to sell their seat to this party). Original payment for that workshop seat will remain with Teresa Wagner.

Registering for a class when not enrolled in certification program

For individuals taking a class without enrollment in the program, individual class fees are paid at the time a class is purchased on demand, or at the time of registration for a live class.
