Focus Health hates to cancel classes although it is sometimes essential to reduce financial loss or comply with Red Cross course minimums.
We maintain the lowest course minimums in the industry and consistently strive to reduce location costs in an effort to lower the financial break-point-averages per location.
Course Records take 2-3 business days to process and will be emailed directly to students from the American Red Cross. Students should check spam and promo folders if they cannot find it. They can also search for their American Red Cross certifications HERE using their email address.
YES! Upon request, Focus Health can expedite certification cards for an additional fee of $15. Please let us know asap AND have them contact us at (323)454-2008

Note: Once a teaching schedule contract is solidified and confirmed, the expectation is that you commit to your contract. For any schedule contract that is breached, Focus Health will assess financial loss implications and may charge or withhold compensation.
Students may reschedule for free up to 72 hours before in-person land-based classes. They may self-reschedule via confirmation emails or by contacting us directly.
If a reschedule request is within 72 hours of the class or after the class, a $50 reschedule fee will be applied.
For any land-based appointments cancelled, there is a $25 Cancellation Fee prior to 7 days before the class. A partial refund will be provided back to the original form of payment (course fee - $25 cancellation fee.) No refunds are permitted within 7 days or for missed or failed classes.
Student feedback is very important to us! We occasionally survey students to see how we are doing, but a majority of our feedback is organic. Please check it out HERE.
Great question. Overall, we default to the American Red Cross Instructor Manuals RE late students. This means that it is up to your discretion how to treat late students.
Recommendation: If a student is too late and will impact the quality of your class, please know that Focus Health will stand behind your decision. The student should be directed to contact us and reschedule their class.
As we all know, many students travel far distances for our classes and may require the class for work compliance. We ask that all instructors show compassion and professionalism for all situations.
In general, full refunds are not permitted.
A $25 cancellation fee will be applied for all/any appointments cancelled. The balance of the course fee will be refunded. If a students attended the course and received an American Red Cross certification, no refunds are permitted.
Refunds take 5-10 business days to process.
In general, we always default to the American Red Cross Instructor Manual policies, making this your discretion on how to treat the situation.
In a Blended Learning course, the online portion MUST be completed to receive a certification.
Recommendation: Every student scenario is different and we ask that you show compassion and professionalism always. Seasoned instructors may take multiple variables into consideration, including the student's age, attitude, experience, excuse and online course progress. We all know technology often may throw us curveballs and the Red Cross Learning Center often has issues, so please use your best discretion.
If you decide to allow the student to stay, please mark them as "Needs Online" on your roster AND have them email their online completion to our office. We will not process the course record until proof of completion is received:
We do not like to see students fail and strive to ensure success for all Focus Health courses. Occasionally, we may need to have that uncomfortable conversation. Please pull them aside to have the discussion in private. As always, please show compassion, professionalism and clearly explain to the participant why they must retake the course. Please direct them to reschedule with our office.
Failed students would need to re-enroll for a course if possible. There is no refund for any student who does not pass a course.
