COURSE POLICIES
Required Behaviors for this Course
If you are new to online learning, you may find this style of learning invigorating but most assuredly, different from the traditional classroom courses. You can set your own pace within the guidelines of the course. You will learn by participating actively. You alone are responsible for your own learning; that means you must have the drive and discipline to see the course through as letters of successful completion are not given unless the coursework is completed.
Confidentiality must be respected regarding the discussion of cases or any other educational or learning matters. Learners must abide by the professional ethics of their professional association or licensing board.
Time Required to Complete the Course
You are encouraged to take this course at your own pace, however, you are expected to complete the course within the guidelines set forth by the NATI.
The North American Training Institute reserves the right to place a time limit on finishing the course. Please review the time requirements listed in the course description found at nati.org/oll/courselist.aspx and clicking on the course for which you are registered.
Once the time allowed has passed, it will be required to for the participant to submit a written request for additional time to complete the course. The request must clearly state the reason for the extension. The extension request will be for 30 days from the expiration date. The written request must be accompanied by a $50 administrative fee. NATI has included this time requirement as a motivating factor for completing this course as well as a matter of policy clarification.

Participant Complaint Procedure
North American Training Institute is fully committed to conducting all activities in strict conformance with the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists. North American Training Institute will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activities, program content and in the treatment of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance with these standards will be the responsibility of the North American Training Institute Executive Director and Board of Directors.
While North American Training Institute goes to great lengths to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there will be occasional issues which come to the attention of the office staff which require intervention and/or action on the part of the office staff or an officer of North American Training Institute. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances.
When a participant, either orally or in written format, files a grievance and expects action on the complaint, the following actions will be taken.
- If the grievance concerns program content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual filing the grievance will be asked to put his/her comments in written format (download form here). The CEO will then pass on the comments to the Board of Directors, assuring the confidentiality of the grieved individual.
- If the grievance concerns a course offering, its content, or level of presentation, the CEO will mediate and will be the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action, the CEO will:
- attempt to move the participant to another course, or
- provide a credit for another course offering, or
- provide a partial or full refund of the course fee.
Actions 2b and 2c will require a written note (download form here), documenting the grievance, for record keeping purposes. The note need not be signed by the grieved individual.
- If the grievance concerns a North American Training Institute CE online course, in a specific regard, the CEO will attempt to arbitrate.
