• Do I need to complete the modules in order? You can complete the modules in any order once you have completed Module 1.
• How long does it take to complete the program? This depends on how quickly you want to move through the 4 modules. We recommend 1 module per term or semester, which means you can complete it across 12 months or 24 months. It’s up to you.
• Can I change module dates once I have registered? You can change module dates once you have registered. Simply email office@coachingfocus.com.au and let us know your reason for changing and your preferred new date/dates. We will do our best to allocate you to a new module date if there is availability in the group.
• How do I get the resources for the program? All resources are Express Posted to you in the week prior to the module date. If they do not arrive in time, we will provide an electronic copy of the workbook and resources (where possible).
• Can I get a refund, or a credit, if I need to cancel my registration? Wherever possible we will issue a credit for your payment. You can transfer that credit to any of our programs or transfer the money to someone else at your school.
• When can’t a credit be provided? A credit cannot be provided if you have activated the DISC Profile code issued to you, a Resource Pack has already been sent to you or it is within one week prior to the module date (because by then we will have sent the Resource Pack to you).
