Sarga Bodywork's Course Cancellation & Course Postponement Policy

For in-person Sarga Bodywork courses, each instructor conducts registration separately and with different terms, however in general these terms are applicable (please consult your instructor for more details).

A full refund (or a free transfer) of course tuition will be issued if a scheduled Sarga Bodywork course cannot be delivered for any reason that is of no fault of the participant. In the event of such a cancellation, please remain aware that Sarga Bodywork or your instructor will not be held responsible to reimburse any airline tickets or other previously booked travel and accommodation reservations and expenses. In the event that a course has not reached the required minimum student enrollment 25 days prior to the class start time, Sarga Bodywork reserves the right to postpone a particular course to a later time or to cancel it altogether. In such an event, registrants have the choice to either transfer to another course without paying the $75 transfer fee, or to be refunded their full payment.

Incomplete Attendance Policy

Sarga Bodywork has a "no partial credit rule," for its courses and does not offer partial CEU’s. Students must complete all course hours of the course for which they would like to receive CEU’s. Sarga Bodywork is subject to the rules of a regulatory body that does not allow partial credit and expects each participant to complete our curriculum in its entirety. This includes arriving late or leaving early on course days. CE credit requirements are strictly enforced in accordance with the rules of the governing organizations such as NCBTMB. In the event of an emergency, unexpected pregnancy or illness, an exception will be applied if the student needs to leave class. Your course instructor must be notified on the day of the occurrence and will then decide on how to proceed, on a case-by-case basis.

A student who does not complete course hours will not receive a "Course Completion Certificate" or be eligible for subsequent certification. In addition, students will not be eligible for enrolling in advanced level courses without full attendance and completion of prerequisite courses. Missed course hours can be made up with a certified Sarga Bodywork instructor at the student's expense. Students must complete the remaining missed hours within 3 months of the registered course start date in order to obtain CE credits, otherwise a full retake of the course is required. Once these supplemental hours are completed, students will then be qualified for course completion and issuance of the associated CEUs.

Student Dismissal Policy

Sarga Bodywork instructors reserve the right to halt instruction and/or dismiss students from class in the event that:

  1. It is deemed that a participant's presence in class is unsafe, disruptive or inappropriate.
  2. It becomes clear that a participant requires extra support beyond what can be provided in the group class setting.
  3. It becomes clear that a participant cannot meet Sarga Bodywork's "Fitness & Conditioning Requirements" (see our “Support” page for details).
  4. It is deemed that the health of the participant is unsuitable to either give or receive Sarga Bodywork techniques. In the event that the instructor deems a student is unable to proceed as a participant in class, Sarga Bodywork headquarters will be consulted and a private meeting between the instructor and the student will be arranged to discuss the next steps. In the event that a student is dismissed from class, all course tuition paid is either applicable to their further instruction, when approved (valid for 18 months), or refunded. Sarga Bodywork, or its contractors and instructors will not be held responsible to reimburse any airline tickets or other previously booked travel and accommodation reservations and expenses incurred by the student a result of his/her dismissal.
