Refund Policy
14-day return policy from date online access is granted; refund less 10% administrative fee, prorated by usage of online resources. No refund after 14 days. PassProtection™ guarantee (Essential/Premium/Ultimate only): if you fail, receive same study package free for next exam sitting. Valid up to 36 months from purchase. Basic package excluded.
Verified Jul 2026HIGH confidence
No cash refunds: all content becomes available immediately upon purchase, per the Terms & Conditions. Instructor-Led packages advertise "One-Fee-To-Pass" (continued same-level access at no additional charge after an unsuccessful exam), subject to the current terms, which limit deferrals and require exam registration documentation. The 2027 Level III Instructor-Led page lists this guarantee, but Mark Meldrum's FAQ still limits it to Level I and Level II, so confirm Level III coverage with the provider before relying on it. Self-Study packages pay a one-time $100 USD extension fee to move to a different exam period.
