Employment Policy
Regardless of industry demand, California Wind Tech, including its employees and affiliates, cannot guarantee employment after the successful completion of course requirements.
Refund Policy
DEPOSIT: A $300 deposit is required to enroll in our training course and it will be applied toward the total cost of tuition. This deposit is 90% refundable (10% processing fee) until exactly 1:00pm (PST) two weeks before the start of the scheduled course. If student cancellation occurs within the 14 day period before a course is scheduled to start, then the $300 deposit is forfeit. No exceptions.
TUITION: The total cost of tuition for our course is $1,900. If a tuition payment has been collected by California Wind Tech in part or in full before the scheduled day of the first class, then it is 90% refundable (10% processing fee) before the scheduled day of the first class. This tuition refund policy no longer applies on or after the day that the course is scheduled to begin. In addition, a refund of 70% of a student’s tuition is available if the student can, in person, provide physical documentation of a serious and compelling reason to drop out of the course within the first 2 days of the scheduled course. After two days of the scheduled course have passed, this tuition refund policy no longer applies. Students that are unable to complete the course due to unforeseeable circumstances like accidents and emergencies may be able to apply credit to a later course as determined by California Wind Tech’s administration.
*Serious and compelling reasons are subjects to be determined by California Wind Tech's Administration.
Possession Policies
California Wind Tech believes that the safety and wellbeing of students, faculty, staff, and visitors is of all importance. In accordance with this belief the following possession policies have been adopted.
1) Possession of a weapon is prohibited in class facilities and on class grounds. Violation of this policy will result in immediate expulsion from California Wind Tech. *A "weapon" is defined as any instrument that has been designed or modified to produce serious bodily injury or death. The term "weapon" shall include, but not be limited to; knifes of any shape and size, firearms, nunchuka, metallic knuckles, and pellet guns.
2) Possession of alcohol, non-prescription drugs, and any controlled substance (as defined by the U.S. federal government) is prohibited in class facilities and on class grounds. Violation of this policy will result in immediate expulsion from California Wind Tech. Further, student intoxication from use of the above named substances will result in dismissal from class on the first offense and expulsion on the second offense.
3) Possession of stolen property is prohibited while enrolled in California Wind Tech. Violation of this policy will result in expulsion and prosecution if said property is found to rightfully belong to staff, faculty, or to California Wind Tech.
*California Wind Tech is not responsible in any way for damage to or loss of any personal property that a student may bring to class or on class grounds. This includes but is not limited to, losses due to theft, damage, or car accident. Students are recommended to bring only what they need to class, remembering that all necessary study materials will be supplied by California Wind Tech.
Disruptive Behavior Policy
Disruptive behavior is behavior that California Wind Tech regards as speech or action which;
1) is disrespectful, offensive, and/or threatening,
2) interferes with the learning activities of other students,
3) impedes the delivery of course information, and/or
4) has a negative impact in any learning environment including; staff offices, labs, and lectures.
In an effort to minimize disruptive behavior, students who enroll in California Wind Tech agree to refrain from speech or action which can be classified as disruptive behavior as defined above. Failure to do so will lead to documentation, dismissal from class, and, in extreme cases, expulsion.
Recording Policy
No recording devices of any kind may be used in California Wind Tech classes or offices either during class hours or outside of class hours. This policy is all inclusive unless written permission is obtained from a class instructor prior to said recording.
