Upon completion of the course would you like to be tested on your knowledge and ability? (Please know that you may change your decision on this answer at anytime through the course)_________

A 50% deposit is required to hold your spot and the balance is due 21 days before attending. We suggest you reserve a spot at least 30 days or more in advance since space will be limited to only 8 students for each class. Refunds will be sent out if notified at least 14 days in advance, in writing by certified mail only, of their class date, less $50.00 for administration costs. Fax or e-mail will not be accepted as a notice of cancellation from a participant, due to possible electronic problems. "No refund will be given there after the 14 day notice policy".

You will not suffer the lost of the administration charge of $50.00 as long as you reschedule and your full payment has been made.
The $50.00 will be forfeited if you request your money back 14 days before the class starts.
If notice of cancelation is not given 14 days in advance prior to your schedule start date of the class,
you will forfeit the total amount, but you will have 2 months to reschedule a date within the next 2 months
after your 1st schedule date. I will try to accommodate each person in a matter like this as best as possible.

Please note that no one is confirmed a seat unless full payment is cleared in our bank at least two weeks before
their schedule starting date that they picked. Out of state checks take about 5 to 7 business days to clear so you
would have to allow an additional week within the process totaling 3 weeks before your starting date.
To speed up the process it would be best to Fed-X a Cashiers check or certified bank Money order.
This we know is guarantied funds by a bank. I am sorry to say but we do not take any form of credit cards
or Purchase Orders at this time. Please do not send any cash through the mail.

Any one from outside the United States will have to transfer funds via bank wire transfer direct to our account and must be
cleared 14 days before attending the starting date of the class they have picked along with any bank surcharges or fees that
may occur to our account because of the wire transfer.

If you are going to stay at one of the hotels listed on my web site, I would be more than happy to pick you up each
morning and bring you back to your hotel in the evening after class.

All attendees must be covered by their own medical insurance. Attendees of the Rigstar Training center will assume all risk of any injury that may happen to them while at the Rigstar Training Center and on any field trips.

The Rigstar Training and Testing Center does not guarantee an attendee of this class is suited or knowledgeable enough for any specific job that he or she may apply for after attending the Rigstar Training and Testing Center due to each persons own learning capabilities.

"I certify that the facts contained in this application are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand the illegal drug and alcohol policy of the Rigstar Training Center and know that if I fail to comply to these guidelines I will be dismissed without reimbursement for tuition fees."
