Training Policy

2023 REVISED WCFA TRAINING POLICY
Please be sure to read the class course description for details about the class. Date and location changes may occur, so please check back before the class starts for updates. Also course requirements and items needed for the class will be listed.
 
Enrollment:
  • Payments are due within 48 hours of adding a student to a class roster.
  • If the payment is not received within the 48 hours the students name will automatically be dropped from the roster. If there is room and you want your student added back contact the WCFA secretary.
  • Prerequisites must be complete prior to attending classes and proof sent to the Training Coordinator:
  • S-130 Blended Field Day must have completed S-130 certificate.
  • S-230 Crew Boss must have completed S-290 and be qualified as a FFT1 two weeks prior to the start of class or your student will be dropped from the class.
Payments:
  • The member rate applies only to members making payments, not their employees.
  • Members and Non-members alike pay using either the “Member Payment” or “Non-Member Payment” link on the WCFA website.
  • Please contact the WCFA secretary to make arrangements if you are unable to pay this way.
Cancellations:
  • All classes can be cancelled 7 or more days before the class for a full refund less the transaction fee.
  • If cancelled 6 days or less before a class, a fee of $5.00 + the transaction fee will be retained for processing refunds. If a food fee was imposed it may or may not be refunded depending on if food has been purchased yet.
  • If a class is not cancelled and the student is a “No Show” (except for extreme circumstances) no refund will be given. If a class is available the payment can be applied to the new class.
  • Cancellations must be made with the WCFA Secretary. (Call, text or email)
  • WCFA may cancel any class if the minimum enrollment for that class has not been met by the cancellation deadline. If this occurs your payment can be applied to another class or refunded in full.
  • If a class needs to be cancelled due to low enrollment the WCFA, at their discretion, can offer the class to those signed up at an adjusted class fee that would cover the cost of the class.
Minimum Enrollment:
10 for all classes except S-230 & S-290.
15 for S-230 & S-290
 
Other Information:
  • In unique situations where classes are not reasonably available they may be scheduled with the Training Coordinator. The requesting member will pay fees for the class that will at minimum break-even for the WCFA and their expenses for the class.
  • The WCFA does not conduct fitness tests or initiate task books. It is the responsibility of the employer.
If a task book is needed for a class, please print one and send it with your student to the class. Fitness test forms and taskbooks are available on this website under Member Resources.
