Fees & Refund Policy PDF Print

WPATA Membership Fees

  • Membership fees are from January to December of each year.
  • Membership fees paid after October 1st of the year will take the membership paid to December of the following year.
  • Payments made to WPATA may only be refunded in exceptional circumstances on application to the WPATA Board.
  • Concession on fees is available to those trainees as recommended by the Trainer. This needs to be supported by a letter to the Board with reasons and will be re-evaluated annually.

Training Fees

  • Each WPATA trainer is in charge of his or her own financial business plan. It is ethically expected that each trainer will have a sound refund policy for training fees paid to them by trainees.
  • If necessary, a trainer may negotiate time payments of training fees with their trainee.
