In most cases, attendee substitutions may be made at any time and are encouraged when the original registrant cannot attend. (Substitutions must be made 7 business days in advance for programs that use a feedback instrument.) If you must cancel or reschedule, please notify us at least 7 business days prior to the start of the program to receive a full refund of the program price. Cancellations or date changes made less than 7 business days prior to the start of the program will incur the full registration cost.

If we do not have enough registrants, we will cancel the program one week in advance of the scheduled date. For this reason, we encourage participants to register two to three weeks ahead of the scheduled training they wish to participate in. There are also weather related situations that can cancel a training.  

Recertification Credits for HR Professionals – EANE supports recertification credits for both HRCI and SHRM certifications through our training programs, conferences, and special events. EANE is an Approved Provider for the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) and a Preferred Provider for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Information about HR (general) and business (strategic) credits toward PHR and SPHR recertification, and credits toward SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP certification, can be found in individual program descriptions on our website.  Please contact us at 877.662.6444 to request credits for a course you recently attended.

EANE member organizations receive a 30% discount off of the price for onsite trainings.

On rare occasions, EANE programs, conferences, and special events may be canceled or postponed due to snow or other weather conditions. If this happens, we will contact participants as soon as possible, using email addresses we have on file. If we don’t receive responses, we will try reaching participants by phone.

If a program has a small number of participants and some choose not to attend because of weather, we may need to cancel or reschedule the program. We will contact participants as soon as possible by email/phone. It is best to contact Registrations at 877.662.6444 if you are delayed due to weather conditions, so we know to expect you, but also so we can alert you of any changes due to low attendance.

For class cancellation information on the day of the program you can call 877.662.6444 and dial extension 3033.  Any class cancellations will be listed on that extension.
