Policies and Procedures

Cancellation Policy

  • We will grant full refunds to those who submit written requests within 10 business days of the start of the course to customerservice@assp.org
  • Learners who register but do not attend their courses — or who attempt to cancel after the deadline— will not receive refunds.
  • If learning resources such as standards or videos are included in the registration price of your course, and you access those resources using your ASSP My Learning account prior to the course’s start date, you will be ineligible for a refund.
  • We charge a $25 processing fee for substitutions.
  • Submit substitutions in writing within 10 business days of the start of the course by emailing customerservice@assp.org. If pricing for the new attendee changes the total cost of attending the event, we will charge or refund you the difference.
  • If we must cancel a course or event for any reason, liability is limited solely to the registration fees paid.

IACET CEUs

We are accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). We comply with the ANSI/IACET standard, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices. As a result of this accreditation, we are authorized to issue IACET continuing education units (CEUs). To receive CEUs, attendees need to participate and complete all the activities and assignments for the courses they attend.

ASSP Course CEUs:

1/2-day course = 0.4 CEUs
1-day course = 0.7 CEUs
2-day course = 1.4 CEUs*
3-day course = 2.1 CEUs

*Prevention Through Design and Risk Assessment & Management for Safety Professionals are 2-day courses that receive 3.0 CEUs as part of the Risk Assessment and Management Certificate.

BCSP Recertification Points:

The CEUs awarded by ASSP are equivalent in value to Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) recertification points (e.g., 1.0 CEU = 1.0 recertification point).
