A WorkCompCentral ESAP entitles you to attend as many live educational seminars and on-line education courses as you wish during the active term of the subscription. There are some exceptions, described below.
WorkCompCentral ESAP programs are on an annual basis only and cannot be designated for any shorter term; a subscription will automatically renew unless cancelled before renewal date by you. The failure of a credit card charge on renewal terminates your subscription until you renew. The ESAP is non-transferrable.
Attendance of any course, live or on-line, is conditional upon a current and active subscription. For example, if you enroll in a live course and your subscription ends prior to the start of the course you will not be allowed to attend until your subscription is renewed. Likewise, if you begin an online course during an active subscription, but your subscription ends prior to completion of the course, you will not be able to finish that course until your subscription is renewed.
Students attending Live Seminars via use of the Education Subscription Annual Pass (ESAP) may cancel seven (7) or more days prior to the Live Seminar, without being charged a refund administration fee. Cancellations that occur less than seven (7) days prior to the Live Seminar or Live Webinar date will incur a charge for the event at the special member price. The current member price for standard 6 hour Live Seminars is $299.
Credential and certification programs are excluded. Courses taken under an ESAP may count towards a credential or certification, but only after you pay the full cost of the credential or certification, as applicable at the time of request. In such a case, there is no credit for the cost of the ESAP; i.e. you must pay the entire cost of the credential or certification regardless of whether you have taken any or all of the required courses using an ESAP, though such courses will count towards credential or certification curriculum requirements (you may still be required to take exams or quizzes).
The Annual Comp Laude® Gala is is included with the ESAP and is non-transferable.
WorkCompCentral reserves the right to omit any course from ESAP enrollment, and WorkCompCentral reserves the right to change subscription options and/or pricing at any time. Reasonable efforts will be made by WorkCompCentral to notify you of any changes made to the ESAP program and/or its offerings.
All live courses are enrolled on a first come, first served basis. Your ESAP does not guarantee enrollment or attendance at any live seminar or event. If you are interested in attending a live seminar or event you should enroll immediately. There is no penalty for cancelling or failing to attend.
