Declaration of Field Experience Forms
The viability of all courses depends on advanced registration. Please
do not wait to see if the course has been confirmed before you register. If you
and enough people choose to wait, the course in which you are interested will
probably be cancelled due to lack of registrations. We can only count
registrations that have been received by us that come with deposit cheques. Verbal confirmations do not count.
Please fill in a registration form and send it to us with your payment as soon
as possible. If everyone sends in his/her registration in advance, chances are
that your course will go ahead as
scheduled.

HOW
WILL I FIND OUT WHERE THE COURSE IS BEING HELD?
Course locations will be confirmed once sufficient registrations are
received and you will be notified. The sooner everyone registers, the sooner we
can book a location and the sooner you will find out where the course is being
held. As soon as we find a location, we will post it on our website. If it is
not posted, it is because we do not have one yet, please do not call the office
asking about the location of the course unless you do not receive this
information by the week before the course is due to
start.
top
MUST
I INCLUDE PAYMENT WITH MY REGISTRATION?
Send in your completed registration form with full payment or a
$300.00 deposit for the Code Compliance course. WETT’s policy requires full payment
on or before
the course date. If you do not pay in advance, you must bring your payment with
you to the course; otherwise you may be denied access to the course and
requested to enroll in a future course
offering.

TO
WHOM DO I MAKE MY CHEQUE PAYABLE?

WHEN
WILL MY PAYMENT BE PROCESSED?
WHAT
IF I FIND I CANNOT ATTEND THE COURSE AFTER I HAVE REGISTERED?
Cancellations must be received in writing (letter,
fax, E-mail). If your cancellation is received more than 10 business days prior
to the course start date, you will receive a refund of 90% of the course price.
If the manuals cannot be reused for someone else then you will be responsible
for the $300.00 cost. If your cancellation is received 10-3 business days prior to the course start
date, you will receive a refund of 75% of the course price, after you return the
manuals back to us in pristine condition or the above costs apply. If your cancellation
is received 2-0 business days prior to the course start date, you will receive a
credit towards a future
course. If cancellations become a habit, a 25% service fee will be charged.
(We schedule courses based on participants. If you register and say you will
come and don't show up, then we may end up doing courses without our minimum
required amount of participants. This makes it unfair to all. At least let us
know that you will not be coming) If you wish to cancel out of a course, you may return
your manuals back to us, in pristine condition, for a refund less shipping costs. If
the manuals cannot be reused for someone else then you will be responsible for
the $300.00 cost.

WHEN
CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE MY EXAM RESULTS?
Please do not call the WETBC office about your certificates or
certification as WETBC does not take care of memberships or handing out of
certifications.
A letter will be sent to you within 8 weeks from the date that the Registrar receives your exam in the WETT Inc. office. Please keep in mind that, at any one time, the office is processing numerous exams from all over the country. Therefore, it is not always possible for you to receive your results as quickly as you would prefer. We appreciate your patience.
Please note that WETT Inc sends out the marks and certification, If you have any problems, contact WETT Inc at 1-888-358-9388 top
