AEDP® Seminar Starts January 9, 2026

Institute Sponsored Courses Including Immersion, Essential Skills, Advanced Skill Modules, Seminars/Webinars and Institute Sponsored Core Trainings

The AEDP Institute does not offer make-ups for missed course days. In the rare case where someone joins a course late, or misses a session in the middle of a course, the hour(s) or day(s) that person misses cannot be made up. Why? Group dynamics developed during a course are essential to the course’s success; so someone coming into a course for a short period of time is – regardless of their best intentions – disruptive to other participants and the course’s overall success. The Institute will, however, provide handouts from missed hours or days but will not allow a person to make up the hours or days they miss in another course.

AEDP Level credit: if a participant attends 80% or more of a course, the Institute will apply the course towards AEDP Level advancement

Program Cancellation/Changes

The AEDP Institute reserves the right to cancel a training/ program prior to its start, in which case full refunds will be issued to participants for any tuition fees paid for the program. The AEDP Institute is not responsible for participant expenses including travel, childcare, missed practice sessions, etc.

In the rare situation that the AEDP Institute makes changes to advertised presenter(s), tuition fees will not be refunded.

By adhering to these policies, we aim to ensure a fair and consistent approach to cancellations, refunds, and transfer requests.

AEDP Institute Grievance Policy & Process

Overview and Commitment

AEDP Institute is fully committed to conducting all activities in compliance with all legal and ethical responsibilities in promotional activities, program content and in the treatment of program participants and the community. This policy sets out the procedure for receiving, reviewing, and responding to grievances.

While the Institute strives to provide fair and equitable treatment for all participants in its events and activities and makes every effort to anticipate potential concerns, it acknowledges that grievances may still occur.

We are committed to resolving grievances in a timely way, and in alignment with our Participant Agreement.

Grievance Submission Process

Grievances should be submitted online at aedpinstitute.org/complaint or sent using this form. Note that Social Workers should indicate in their grievance that they are a social worker so the AEDP Social Work Consultant can be appropriately involved in the grievance resolution process.

Grievances will be forwarded to the Administrative Director responsible for overseeing the relevant area. The Director will review the matter and issue a decision or resolution in a timely manner (usually within 30 days)

Special Considerations for Speaker/Presentation Complaints

If the grievance concerns course content, the speaker, facilities, non-receipt of certificates and other miscellaneous occurrences, the Administrator Director will pass on the comments to the speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the aggrieved individual.

Confidentiality
The confidentiality of the aggrieved individual will be maintained except when disclosure is required by law, necessary to prevent imminent harm, or authorized in writing by the individual. All confidential information will be shared only with authorized personnel involved in the complaint process.

Appeal Process – Filing an Appeal

If the individual who submitted the grievance is not satisfied with the Director’s decision or resolution, they may submit an appeal.

Final Decision

The appeal will be reviewed in consultation with the AEDP Institute Steering Committee and a final decision will be made jointly by the the committee and the relevant Director(s). Once this final decision is issued, the grievance process will be considered complete.

Additional Feedback Opportunities
