Note: Please note that we use TUV USA Inc.’s receipt date of your written notice to calculate the 30 calendar days.

Price Increases:

TUV USA Inc. tries every effort to avoid increases in our course fees. In the event of a course fee increase, delegates will be notified and new course fee will apply.

Certificate Re-issue:

TUV USA Inc. tries every effort to satisfy our customers. However, due to increased workload for re-issuing past course certificates per customers’ requests, TUV USA Inc. will impose a fee of $99.00 with applicable taxes (in US fund for delegates residing in US or internationally and in CAD fund for delegates residing in Canada) for each re-issued certificate. We will issue the certificate in hardcopy and send it to the delegate’s provided mailing address via ordinary mail.
