You have up to one year from the original session date to reschedule your session.  You may only reschedule your original informational seminar or barista training schedule one time.   If you do not attend the rescheduled informational seminar or barista training session, the registration is forfeited, and no refund is provided.  You may allow someone to attend the rescheduled session in your place.

We reserve the right to reschedule any informational seminar or barista training session due to unforeseen circumstances such as, but not limited to, inclement weather, instructor illness, insufficient enrollment, equipment malfunction, and emergencies. If the date of the rescheduled program does not correspond with your availability, you may reschedule any informational seminar or barista training session to another session of your choice as long as seating is still available.  You have up to one year from the original session date to reschedule your session.  If you do not attend the rescheduled informational seminar or barista training session, the registration is forfeited, and no refund is provided.  Whenever your session is cancelled or postponed by New Jersey Coffee School, you will not have to pay any rescheduling fee to attend another session.  You may allow someone to attend the rescheduled session in your place.
