H&H Refund Policy - post

H&H does not issue refunds for training session payments; however, in documented emergencies a student may be offered a one-time option to attend the next scheduled session for the same training instead of receiving a refund. If you need guidance about how this policy is applied or what documentation to provide, review the steps below and contact H&H administration to confirm your next steps. For professional development options while you reschedule or re-register, consider Creating Safe & Healthy Child Care Environments Buy Now $55.00 and 3 Hour Aide Orientation Buy Now $29.00, both of which can help maintain compliance while you complete or transfer required hours. For the official provider statement on refunds and the one-time reschedule option, see H&H Refund Policy.

What is H&H's refund and reschedule policy for training sessions?

H&H's policy states that payments for training sessions are non-refundable. As an operational exception, when a student cannot attend a registered session due to a verifiable emergency, H&H may offer a one-time rescheduling of the same training to the next available class. Absent an approved emergency reschedule, the deposit or tuition is forfeited. This policy is administrative; if you require a formal appeal or accommodation for documented extenuating circumstances, contact H&H's registration office and provide the documentation described below.

When does H&H consider an absence an emergency that allows a one-time reschedule?

A qualifying emergency is a significant, verifiable event that prevents attendance despite reasonable attempts to participate. Examples typically include sudden medical emergencies, unexpected hospitalization, verified court or legal obligations, or similarly serious incidents. Routine scheduling conflicts, transportation issues without documentation, or employer staffing changes are generally not considered qualifying emergencies. Always confirm with H&H whether your circumstance qualifies and which documentation will be acceptable.

How should students document an emergency and request a reschedule?

To request the one-time reschedule, prepare the following and submit them promptly to H&H's registration or student support team:

1. Notify H&H as soon as reasonably possible by phone or email with your intent to request the emergency reschedule.
2. Provide supporting documentation that verifies the emergency (for example, a medical note, hospital discharge paperwork, court notice, or employer letter). H&H will advise which documents are acceptable for your circumstance.
3. Complete any required forms or confirmations H&H provides; keep copies for your records and for your employer if they require proof of training status.
4. Confirm the date and location (or online session) of the next available class and whether any additional fees or administrative steps apply to complete the transfer.

If you are uncertain about evidence requirements, ask for a written checklist from H&H so you can be sure the documentation will be accepted.

Placing accurate documentation and prompt communication preserves options for learners and helps administrators process requests consistently. Keep copies of all emails, receipts, and evidence in case your employer, licensing agency, or a scholarship program later needs verification.

What alternatives and next steps are available if a reschedule is not granted?

If H&H determines that your situation does not qualify for the one-time reschedule, consider these options:

1. Register for the next open session of the same training and retain proof of prior registration and communications for your records.
2. Ask whether H&H maintains a waiting list or a transfer policy for subsequent enrollments.
3. Explore equivalent ChildCareEd courses that provide the same or similar content so you can maintain required hours. Relevant courses include 24 Hour Texas Pre-Service Buy Now $192.00 (if you need pre-service hours), or the full Early Childhood Education (30-hour) course Buy Now $99.00 to cover multiple competency areas.
4. If you are pursuing credentials or scholarship assistance, notify your registry or sponsor (for example, T.E.A.C.H. or local grant programs) immediately and share H&H's decision and your receipts—some sponsors allow exceptions or alternate providers.

Employers and program directors should also maintain a written attendance-and-refund procedure aligned with H&H's policy so staff know the documentation required for emergencies and the steps to request rescheduling. Good practice includes:

1. Maintaining a central folder with copies of registration receipts and staff communications.
2. Designating a staff member responsible for student follow-up when training is missed.
3. Using the program's personnel file to record approved exceptions and any related supervisory notes.
4. Referencing relevant ChildCareEd guidance such as Frequently Asked Questions and communication strategies in How can parent communication strategies reduce complaints? when developing your internal policy.

How do Texas or North Carolina licensing and registry rules affect rescheduling, credit, or acceptance of alternate training?

The original H&H notice is the governing statement of policy; see the H&H Refund Policy post for the exact wording and to confirm any contact details: H&H Refund Policy. For official regulatory requirements in the states named in this article, contact the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education or your state licensing specialist for authoritative guidance; obtain written confirmation about whether a transfer or alternate training will be accepted.

State licensing, registry, and scholarship sponsors determine whether a transferred or alternate session counts toward staff qualifications or funding. Practitioners who name Texas or North Carolina in their records should take these steps to reduce risk and preserve credit:

1. Contact your state registry or licensing specialist before substituting training. In Texas, directors and training coordinators often rely on registry guidance; see relevant ChildCareEd guidance such as the Texas Director Credential and the Texas Director Credential Application for context about state expectations.
2. Ask the registry whether they accept a written transfer or a one-time courtesy reschedule from the training provider; document the registry’s response in writing and keep that with your training records.
3. If you are in North Carolina, confirm whether an alternate ChildCareEd course or an online certificate will be accepted for registry or scholarship reporting; ChildCareEd’s summary of Free Online Training in North Carolina can help you identify accepted certificates and processes.
4. Notify any credentialing sponsor or scholarship administrator (for example, T.E.A.C.H. counselors or local grant managers) immediately. Ask whether they require provider approval in advance, whether they will accept a transfer, or whether they need a new application or receipts.
5. Retain written confirmation from H&H and from any state or sponsor contacts showing acceptance (or denial) of the reschedule or alternate training; place copies in personnel files so directors can evidence compliance during audits or credential renewals.

Giving registries and sponsors this documentation before or immediately after a missed session reduces uncertainty and accelerates any appeal or accommodation. When in doubt, request written confirmation from both H&H and the relevant registry or sponsor so your program has clear evidence of the accepted path forward.

Summary: What actions should a student or employer take now?

1. Immediately notify H&H that you will miss a session and ask about the emergency reschedule procedure. 2. Assemble verifiable documentation of the emergency. 3. Submit the documentation and any required forms without delay. 4. If reschedule is denied, register for the next session, retain all records, and notify any credentialing or scholarship sponsors. Keep a copy of all communications.
