EDUCATION POLICIES

Education Registration

Our education courses and workshops are available on a first-come first-serve basis, as space is limited. You must be over the age of 18 to register.  All education courses and workshops require payment to be made upon registration. Your spot in the course will ONLY be reserved upon receipt of your application form, and tuition fee or initial payment into a payment plan.  Payment Plan details and contract information are clearly outlined within each individual plan upon purchasing. Trainor Movement Co reserves the right to deny registrations.

​

Prospective pregnant, injured or post-rehabilitation participants

While it is considered safe and desirable to exercise during pregnancy and Pilates programs can be ideal in the recovery phase of injury, Merrithew courses can be quite demanding physically, and have not been tailored for pregnant or injured participants or those in a post rehabilitation phase.

For this reason, we are not able to accept course registrations from students who are knowingly pregnant or who are currently or recently injured. A major component of our courses is physical performance of all exercises. This necessitates that participants are injury-free, and able to participate fully, in order to fulfill this requirement.

Course Fees

All course fees are due in full upon registration. For Payment Plans, all fees will be due as outlined in your contract. There are NO REFUNDS, RETURNS, OR TRANSFERS TO OTHER COURSES. All course fees are subject to change without notice. Each course/workshop will require educational materials. These materials include: all manuals, support materials, and other props necessary for each individual course. All education materials are provided by Trainor Movement Co. and included in course fees. 

Course/Workshop Cancellations

If a course withdrawal is requested less than two weeks prior to the start date of a course or workshop, there will be no refund or monies paid. If the withdrawal is requested more than two weeks prior to the course start date, an administrative fee of 25% of the total course fee will be levied, and the remainder paid returned to your account as a credit. Course fees do not include exam fees or applicable taxes.  Trainor Movement Co. reserves the right to cancel a course due to low registration or any unforeseen circumstances. Any fees paid on the cancelled course will be reimbursed in this case.

Make-up Hours/Instructor Trainer Fees

Students must attend and participate in all hours of the course. Any form of photography or videography during any course and/or workshop is strictly prohibited. Any missed hours must be made up through private sessions with an Instructor Trainer at $180/hr+gst. If the student misses more than 5 hours they must make up the same amount of hours missed (1:1 ratio). If a student misses less than five hours of a course, they need to make up half the time in private review at their cost (2:1 ratio of hours missed to hours made up). Make-up hours should be done in a timely manner especially if the missed hours occur in the middle of a course. (This allows students to cover material prerequisite to material taught upon returning to the course.) Students have six months to make up any hours missed. If they exceed this timeline, the course is forfeited and the entire course must be retaken in order to take the examination and be certified. The Instructor Trainer will inform Merrithew via the submitted class list that a student has not completed a course. A note will be made on the student's file. A letter of completion will be sent to the student when the Instructor Trainer has confirmed that the student has completed the remaining hours. Workshops, and the Intro to Anatomy course missed hours are not applicable for make-up hours, the course will need to be retaken for full credit at the full course fee.
