WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS TRAINING?

• Please note that trainees may use their laptops for the Wednesday practice activity of this training.

HOW MUCH DOES THE TRAINING COST?
• $675 per person (manual included)
• $215 additional for Supervisors and Program Managers for 5th day (manual included)
• Travel costs for your staff are NOT included in the above-mentioned fees.

HOW TO PAY FOR THE TRAINING?
• Once you register, you will be receiving a confirmation email from Maritza Noriega with information about the training.  Four to six (4-6) weeks before the training, you will receive an invoice from Phyllis Medrano.  To request an earlier invoice, contact Phyllis Medrano at pmedrano@preventchildabuse.org.  Once you submit this registration, you will be accepting the Cancellation Policy's terms and conditions, including responsibility for notifying Maritza Noriega ASAP via email (at mnoriega@preventchildabuse.org) with any changes in participant status.

When trainees submit a registration for training, they are accepting the Cancellation Policy's terms and conditions, including responsibility for notifying Maritza Noriega (HFA Training Manager) as quickly as possible via email with any changes in participant status.  For trainees needing to cancel a training registration, the Cancellation Policy timing begins with the date and time stamp on the cancellation request email received by Maritza Noriega.  Cancellation Fees are calculated by:

- Cancellations received at least 30 days prior to training: no fee.
- Cancellations received 0-29 days prior to training: fee will be 100% of training cost.
- Substitutions that do not require additional invoicing will be permitted at no cost.

Each training has a specific maximum number of participants.  If registrations beyond the maximum number of participants are received, HFA provides a Wait List opportunity.

Once a training is at its capacity, those wishing to register will receive a Wait List email that confirms a spot on the Wait List based on the date the registration request is received.  At this point, trainee responsibilities include:

(1) Confirm with Maritza Noriega (via email) the desire to remain on the Wait List.
(2) Wait listed staff will receive an email from Maritza Noriega if a cancellation occurs.
(3) Wait listed staff will confirm or release the wait list spot via email to Maritza Noriega within 2 business days.
(4) Maritza Noriega will send an official confirmation email for those confirmed in the open spot.
(5) At this point, the HFA Cancellation Policy applies to this registration, and any additional registrations made.
(6) It is the trainee’s responsibility to cancel any future training registrations that may no longer be needed within the timeframes specified above. For duplicate registrations cancelled within 0-29 days of the training, the full cost of the training will be charged, as that spot has been held for the registrant and restricted others in the network from registering.

The HFA national office is now using HFAST for trainings.  Trainees are now required to have an account in HFAST so that, after the training, they are able to login, complete the evaluation (feedback form) and obtain their training certificates.  Please ensure that the staff you have registered for this training are entered on the site or organization's staff list in HFAST (at https://www.hfast.org/) ASAP.  For the HFAST Quick Start Guide, go to: https://app.box.com/s/7easetaqngluuihmbevuyluoqja3ksx3.  If you have any other questions, please let Maritza Noriega know.
