Frequently asked questions FAQs

How do I register to attend one of your courses?

Most individuals find it convenient to register on our website. We can also assist individuals that might be encountering difficulties with the online registration process – you can contact us via phone at 800-255-5747 ext. 114 or 124 or you can send us an email at blile@reid.com.

How will I know my registration is confirmed?

Once your registration has been completed a confirmation will be sent to the email that was submitted for the individual registration. If someone other than yourself registered you for a course, the confirmation form may have been sent to their email, please check with them. Please also check your spam folders or equivalent.

What if I register and then I’m unable to attend?

There are several options. Your registration can be transferred to another course that is more convenient for you. If another course or time isn’t available for you, your registration can be transferred to another individual within your organization. To transfer your registration, reply to the invoice and or confirmation you received with the replacement name or names. If you have paid but are unable to attend a course at this time, we can retain the prepayment for future use, or you may request a refund.

Can I register without pre-paying?

When you register you will be asked for the payment option you prefer. Payment (or receipt of a valid Purchase Order) must be received before the course date.

Which forms of payment may I use?

Most major credit cards are accepted. We also accept checks and ACH/EFT's as payment. Your organization may also pay by purchase order; Federal and Military individuals should submit their fully completed SF-182 or equivalent.

If I am paying by check who is the check payable to and where do I send my check?

Make the check payable to:
