WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ENROLL

​

Please read the enrollment terms

Before enrolling in any of our courses or programs, please be sure to read the enrollment terms below and reach out to us with any questions you may have.

​

​Course prerequisites

There are no prerequisites required to complete any of our courses, however we do suggest having some crystal healing experience or prior training before enrolling in our Certified Crystal Bodyworker course to help put the advanced crystal layouts into context.

 

Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) for practitioner courses, ACTIVATE and ASCEND programs

Recognition for prior learning (RPL) may be granted for our practitioner courses and programs to some students and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.  Students applying for RPL must provide evidence of their prior learning by providing us with any certificates and a detailed summary of their prior experience and/or education. The maximum amount of RPL granted for any course is 20% for non-Evolve certificate courses or 40% for graduates of our ACTIVATE or CCH program who wish to upgrade to the ASCEND or TCH program.

 

How does it work?

Please be sure to read the 'FAQ' section on the course/program page as this contains important information regarding:

• Lesson delivery method

• Accessibility

• Getting support

• 5 Day 'no risk' guarantee​

 

Course crystals

​To successfully complete the practical task in our courses, you will need specific tools and crystals, which varies from course to course. These should all be easy to source online or from any reputable metaphysical store. A list of recommended crystals can be found in the starter section of the course once you have enrolled. 

​

Computer & Technical Requirements - all courses

​To successfully complete our courses, you will need access to a modern computer, laptop, smartphone or tablet, Microsoft Word (or similar) for typing your assessments, an email account and reliable internet access.  Please note that assessments MUST be submitted via email, in PDF or Word formats.  We do not accept hand-written assessments, faxes, or SMS messages.

​

ENROLLMENT TERMS

​

5 day cooling off guarantee

All of our full-price course and program enrollments come with a risk-free guarantee of 5 days cooling off period. During this time you can freely access all the online content (including audio, video and quizzes) and request a full refund if it is not what you expected. As soon as you download any of the content or the 5 day cooling off period has passed (whichever happens soonest), the sale is considered final and no refunds will be given under any circumstances. This applies even if you don't download all of the material. 

 

*Please note that the 5 day cooling off period does not apply to discounted course/program enrollments including scholarships, introductory offers and promotions. In this case, all sales are final and there is no cooling off period.

​

Payments

All pricing on this website is in USD. We reserve the right to change our course and membership pricing at any time without notice. Price changes will not impact or apply to current active payment plan subscriptions.

We accept 2 payment methods:

• PayPal (only available for courses paid in full)

• Credit card (available for monthly payment plans and full payments)​

​

Missed payments on a payment plan

If you have enrolled in one of our programs on a monthly plan, the monthly fee will be automatically deducted from your nominated credit card in the equivalent of USD each month (please keep in mind this will fluctuate slightly in your local currency). If your payment is unable to be processed, then our system will continue to attempt to process the payment for 3 weeks. If the payment cannot be recovered after 3 weeks, then your enrollment will be automatically cancelled, without refund. You will need to contact us to re-enroll and may forfeit any discounts or promotional rates that applied to your original enrollment fee.

​

Course cancellations & refunds

You have 5 days to try our courses and programs and receive a full refund if it is not what you expected, as long as you have not downloaded the content (which can't be 'returned' to us). Once this cooling off period is over, the following refund and cancellation policy applies: You can cancel your program or course enrollment at any time after the cooling off period by contacting us. If you are on a monthly payment plan, then we will cancel your enrollment (without refund) and no further payments will be deducted from your account. If you have paid for the course/program in full, then the appropriate remaining credit will be held for you to use within 12 months of cancellation towards re-enrollment in the same or another Evolve course or program. Once 12 months has passed, then no credit is given for re-enrollment and the full fee is payable to complete the course, less any RPL you are entitled to. Unfortunately, we cannot offer individual payment plans, extensions, discounts or any other payment exceptions. Any previous discounts or coupon codes (including scholarship discounts) that were applied to the original enrollment will be cancelled and cannot be applied to re-enrollments once a course is cancelled.

 

Please note: We do not issue refunds under any circumstances once the 5 day cooling off period has passed. This includes but is not limited to: change of mind, illness, life hardship, course incompletion and change of circumstances. However, we are very happy to work with you in terms of extra time, 'pausing' your study, additional coaching support and special learning allowances if something unexpected happens. We are also open to discussing an enrollment transfer if you have a friend who would like to do the course in your place.

​

Course access times & extensions

Online access times for individual courses are:

• All beginner courses (Chakra Healing, Sacred Rituals & Crystal Body Layouts) - 12 months access

​

Online access times for our bundled programs are as follows:

• AWAKEN program - Lifetime* access

• ACTIVATE program - Lifetime* access

• ASCEND program - Lifetime* access

IMPORTANT: ​'Lifetime' access refers to the operational lifetime of Evolve Healing Institute. However, we reserve the right to change this at any time. Should the institute close, students will receive a minimum of 3 month's notice in which to revise and download any content they wish to keep before it becomes permanently unavailable. Even though you will receive lifetime access to the content,  ACTIVATE practitioner students must still complete their course assessments within 12 months and ASCEND practitioner students within 24 months to earn their certificate. 

​

Sudden institute closure or staff shortage clause

Under normal circumstances, our students will receive the access and coaching support outlined in this site. However, we do not guarantee these access times in the case of a sudden and unexpected closure of our institute or staff loss. Should an unexpected event force the permanent closure of our institute or a critical staff shortage (such a prolonged global pandemic, financial crisis or sudden death or serious injury/illness of one or more of our team) then we guarantee that all practitioner students will receive a minimum period of 3 months from time of notice of closure to receive ongoing support from a staff member and 6 months to continue to access the online course content and submit the necessary course work to earn their qualification. No refunds will be issued if a sudden and unexpected institute closure or staff shortage impacts our ability to provide live coaching support beyond 3 months from the day of notice.

 

Medical exemptions & hardship

If you are enrolled in our ACTIVATE or ASCEND memberships (or one of our practitioner courses), then you may request one penalty-free 'pause' on your course access time for up to 3 months, for medical or hardship reasons.  You may be asked to present a valid medical certificate to be granted a medical exemption. To be eligible for a 'pause', you must contact us via email at least 1 month before your course/membership expiry date. 

​​

Certificates

On successful completion of any of our practitioner courses, you will receive a beautiful digital practitioner's certificate. If you enrolled in the program on a payment plan, then all of your payments must have been made before your certificate can be issued. You can speed up this process by contacting us and requesting to pay your plan out early.  Under no circumstances do we issue practitioner certificates for courses or programs that have not been completely paid for.

​

The collection of photos and personal information for the purposes of submitting courses assessments

If you are enrolled in any of our practitioner courses, then you will be required to complete some assessment tasks in order to graduate and receive your practitioner's certificate. Some of these assessment tasks will ask you to submit photographs of yourself or your volunteer clients with crystals in correct position on the body (fully clothed and covered with a blanket or sheet). You may also be asked to share personal information such as your thoughts, feelings or experience of the task. This information will be viewed exclusively by the necessary qualified Evolve Healing Institute employees for the sole purpose of helping you through your training, grading your assessments and providing feedback and guidance.

If you would prefer us to delete this information sooner, these please contact us and we will be happy to fulfill your request.
