A course may be registered for online, by phone or in person. Registration for our semester-long courses typically closes two (2) business days prior to the start of a course. Once enrollment limits are reached, a wait list is started. All semester long courses must be paid in full five (5) business days prior to the start of the course. Any registration or application fees will be forfeited without full payment.

Note:
All American Heart Association, PHTLS, EMS Refresher, and other short length workshop type classes must be paid in full at time of registration.

Course Cancellation:

If American Professional Educational Services cancels a course, any student registered for that course has the option of transferring into another course during a different term or requesting a refund. Refunds are issued within 2-3 weeks of cancellation.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Refund Policy. VA educational benefits qualifying students under the VA will be afforded reimbursement directly from the VA under the current policies and guidelines set forth by the VA. Upon a change in enrollment status, the school certifying official will notify the VA in writing. The VA will then make a determination of tuition paid to be reimbursed to the student or money to be paid back to the VA for failure to complete the program of study. If the VA has partially paid the school or the student directly for the tuition, it is still the responsibility of the student to satisfy any remaining balance of tuition not covered through VA educational benefits. Credit Transfer Policy American Professional Educational Services does not accept transfer credits for any of its training programs.
