On April 25, 2024 I was accepted into the Karen Pryor Training Academy. On July 3, 2024 I asked for a deferral from the program due to a medical condition and a very intense busy schedule. I was told at the time that I would hear from the Admission department inn November when the schedule was out for the Instructor. On October 23, 2024 I sent a letter to Admissions and asked if I could defer to another instructor in a Regional Program that is offered. They stated no, and send me a copy of the policy in the handbook. I had already reviewed the handbook and understood that I needed to stay with the same instructor. Unfortunately, that instructor did not have a Regional Class on the schedule. I reached out to the instructor and asked if she had a regional class upcoming and she informed me that she does not offer Regional Sessions. On 10/24/2024, I received an email from the Associate Director informing me that the reason I had to stay with the current instructor was because she was already paid for me in the Virtual Class. So, if someone has issues and does not feel the virtual program is a good fit for them and their instructor does not offer any other type of programs you have no options and are out the 5000.00 you paid. The student is penalized if their instructor does not offer Regional classes. This is a serious problem for the program and I want other potential students to be aware that this could happen to you. The program does not offer an exception and or an opportunity to work with the student in a compromise. I have attended their conference and been in the training community for over 15 years and this is extremely unfortunate situation and my hope was that we could come to a resolution at the time of writing this review it was not an option.
