The S.W.A.T. Institute's Course & Certification Terms & Policies

 

The Empowerment Coach Certification Terms & Policies

1) You consent to The S.W.A.T. Institute collecting and possessing your name and other "personal information" (as such term is defined in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, 2000, c.5) obtained by us in connection with your registration. You acknowledge and agree that the personal information has been provided to us with your knowledge or consent. In addition, you consent to The S.W.A.T. Institute using, releasing, disclosing and/or retaining on file your name and personal information to:

(i) A company or organization affiliated, associated or related to The S.W.A.T. Institute in order to provide you with information relating to your enrolment with The S.W.A.T. Institute.

2) The Simply Woman Accredited Trainer (S.W.A.T.) Institute Empowerment Coach Certification (ECC) is designed to be an approximate four-month (4) live + interactive education certification program (not including your 30 hours of practice coaching calls that must be completed in order to graduate). You may complete it at your own pace, including completing it faster. However, you have one (1) year to complete your studies. If more time is required beyond one (1) year, you may apply for an extension for a fee. 

3) Our regular fees and method of payment are as set out in our website. However, students who need to extend their studies beyond the one (1) year limit are welcome to apply for an extension with additional fee requirements. Additional fee requirements are currently as follows: $60 USD for a one (1) month extension, $175 USD for a three (3) month extension, $300.00 USD for a six (6) month extension, and $500 USD for an additional twelve (12) month extension. A payment schedule can be provided by contacting Aaron Morissette at [email protected]. All fees must be paid prior to graduation being granted.

4) New S.W.A.T. students have five (5) calendar days from the date of this agreement to cancel their enrolment into The S.W.A.T. Institute and receive a full refund. However, after the fifth (5) day, no refunds or transfers will be issued under any circumstances, nor are you permitted to have someone else take the course. Students who have enrolled in The S.W.A.T. Institute via a payment plan but no longer choose to pursue completion of the program (for whatever reason) will still be required to fulfill the original agreed payment terms.

5) There will be an additional cost for books during your courses. The course curriculum is structured so that you do not have to buy all your books at once. It is suggested that you finish one course, then purchase the corresponding books for the next section. All the book lists are located in “Getting Started” on our learning platform, www.swatlibrary.com. The average total investment for the entire three Modules is between $40 and $80 (depending if you choose e-Book versions or discount sites to buy your books). Ultimately, these books will become a valuable resource for you to use as reference material when coaching clients in your own business. You may also be able to use the cost of the books as a tax deduction. You should consult your own tax advisor with respect to any tax benefit available. The S.W.A.T. Institute is not responsible for ordering, purchasing or shipping books to our students.

6) Students must receive 70 (seventy) percent or higher on their final exam (three submitted coaching calls).

7) The S.W.A.T. Institute will be providing you with proprietary processes, tools, and access to information (the "Confidential Information") that is intended to help create a competitive edge for your future practice. The Confidential Information is for your exclusive use only and not to be disclosed to anyone else except as such disclosure is required by law or a court order. As a student, and a future Certified Empowerment Coach, you shall keep all Confidential Information regarding the certification program confidential and private.

There may be contrary views to any of the material that is published.

10) The information contained in The S.W.A.T. Institute's Empowerment Coach Certification curriculum or obtained as a consequence of using this certification program is not intended to be, nor is it implied to be, a substitute for professional, medical or pharmaceutical advice.

Students should never disregard their professional medical advice or delay in seeking such advice because of information obtained from this site. 

11) Graduates of The S.W.A.T. Institute are trained to become a Certified Empowerment Coach, not a mental health professional, physical therapist, or psychotherapist. This certification program qualifies the S.W.A.T. graduate to give recommendations to help their clients make more empowered general lifestyle choices. They are not certified to be a nutritionist, dietician, fitness therapist, psychotherapist, mental health professional, alternative health practitioner, or otherwise, and are not intended to diagnose, treat, suggest a course of treatment, cure or prevent any disease, condition, or malady. Graduates should always refer their clients to an appropriate medical professional for any issue arising outside the scope of their S.W.A.T. education. If during a coaching session (whether as a S.W.A.T. graduate, or during the mentorship coaching), a client shows any signs of distress, including but not limited to depression and/or suicidal thoughts, coaches are to direct their clients to immediately call 911.

12) Students and future coaches should never disregard or encourage their client to disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking such advice because of information obtained from this site.

15) If a student is undergoing any emotional or mental condition (including addiction) that may, in the sole opinion of The S.W.A.T. Institute, impede them from effectively completing The S.W.A.T. Institute's Empowerment Coach Certification, or from fulfilling their professional responsibilities and competency as a S.W.A.T. Certified Coach, the student/graduate must contact the Professor of Coaching immediately to discuss their continued participation in the program until further diagnosis and treatment has been completed. The consequences include, but are not limited to, termination of instruction without refund.

16) After completing and successfully passing all three modules, our Professor of Coaching at The S.W.A.T. Institute will conduct an evaluation. This evaluation will review the student's grades, her coaching ability, and her code of conduct during the course of her studies. Completion of academic courses does not guarantee certification and approval by The S.W.A.T. Institute. Final certification is at the discretion of the Professor. The S.W.A.T. Institute’s Empowerment Coach Certification Certificate will be issued within four (4) to six (6) weeks after your evaluation has been completed and graduation has been confirmed.

17) There will be no exemptions from any course within the modules.

18) The S.W.A.T. Institute’s Empowerment Coach Certification graduates are eligible to register independently for American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP) accreditation.

This accreditation also includes professional benefits from AADP. To learn more you may visit their site at www.aadp.net. They do allow you up to one (1) year after your S.W.A.T.
