Live, Instructor-Led Training Credit
Receive a $250 Elite Training Credit to apply to any of our live, instructor-led training (delivered via our virtual training environment or in the classroom). Our instructor-led classes are a great compliment to SolidProfessor, providing an even more in-depth dive into the software and advanced topics of interest. (**Credit must be used within the subscription period and cannot be combined with previous years).
- Elite credits are available for the same duration as the respective Elite subscription, typically 12-month expiration, no extensions, no exceptions.
- Training must start before expiration.
- Elite Credits that are part of a multi-year subscription will be issued credits for each of the years on subscription.
- All credits will be issued at the beginning of the subscription period and require a minimum of 9+ months of subscription. Prorating Example: If a customer is on a 3-year renewal and has 1 year and 9+ months remaining on the contract, they will receive (2) full $500 credits per Elite user.
- Credits may be combined with other credits towards any course or any user/s.
- Credits can be used for the following instructor-led training: Single classes, Private/tailored training. Cannot be used for new content creation. Private/tailored training timelines, delivery and materials subject to individual statement of work.
- Credits can be consumed in $250 increments. Redeem easily by registering for a class on our website, we will deduct the value from available Elite Training Credit funds. If funds are not available to cover the whole cost of the class, the customer will pay the difference. Examples: A customer registers for a $1,200 class consumes the value of 2.5 Elite Training Credits or $1250. No "change" is given. A customer registers for an $800 class, which consumes 1.5 Elite Training Credits or $750, but only has a single credit available or $500. The customer will pay the $300 difference before their attendance is confirmed in the class.
- No additional discounting is available when using vouchers to pay for training.
- No call/no show cancellations may be subject to forfeiture of allocated Elite Training Credits.
- Elite training credits may not be used for services or mentoring, or to purchase other non-training items.

- Hawk Ridge Systems reserves the right to limit the scope of the “Ask an Expert” session when the topic presented exceeds the available time allowance.
