Unexpected registration charges and scheduling changes have prompted the team to refine its onboarding and scheduling processes, ensuring that lesson plans, fee structures, and cancellation policies are fully disclosed at registration. This ongoing commitment to transparency is designed to build trust and peace of mind.
