- I may re-attend via an online course at no additional charge.
- If I wish to return to an in-person course, I must pay the full tuition again.

Payment Policy

Deposit Enrollments: If I enroll with a deposit, full payment is due within 10 days of the workshop start date.

Payment Deadline: I will receive an invoice via email. If full payment is not received by the due date, my spot may be forfeited. I can re-enroll in a future workshop after completing payment, subject to a $50 reactivation fee.

Transfers and Fees

Free First Transfer: My first transfer is free if requested within 2 weeks of my original class/workshop start date.

Additional Transfers or Late Requests: Additional transfers, or transfers requested outside of the 2-week window, are subject to a 10% transfer fee.

In-Person to Online Shift: If I enroll in an in-person workshop, SDA will make every effort to deliver it in person. In rare cases, such as trainer illness, SDA may shift the course to an online format. No refunds will be given, but I may choose to transfer to a future in-person training at no extra cost.

Refunds and Cancellations

No Make-ups or Refunds: Missed classes or portions of classes cannot be made up. Tuition is non-refundable once the workshop begins, regardless of attendance or eligibility to receive a Certificate of Attendance or CEUs.

SDA Cancellations: If SDA cancels a workshop entirely, a full refund will be issued.

English Language Proficiency

All Sierra Doula Academy trainings are conducted in English. Students should possess sufficient English proficiency to understand course instruction, participate in discussions and activities, communicate with instructors and classmates, and complete certification-related requirements. Because our workshops are live, fast-paced, and highly interactive, students should be able to comfortably follow spoken English in real time and participate in class discussions without ongoing translation or interpretation support.
If English is not your first language and you have questions about whether this training is a good fit for your needs, please contact us prior to registration.

Participation Requirements

Our trainings are highly interactive and require active participation. Students are expected to attend all sessions live, remain present and engaged throughout the training, keep their cameras on during online workshops (unless otherwise instructed), and actively participate in discussions, activities, and breakout sessions.

Participation During Live Online Workshops

To ensure attendance and participation can be verified, students are expected to remain present for all instructional sessions, join from a quiet, private location that supports learning, and minimize distractions whenever possible. Students are responsible for arranging childcare and other personal responsibilities in advance. Extended absences or circumstances that prevent attendance and participation from being verified may result in ineligibility to receive a Certificate of Attendance and/or CEUs.

These participation requirements apply equally to all students and are necessary to maintain the integrity of Sierra Doula Academy's educational programs and continuing education offerings.

Photography and Testimonials

I grant SDA permission to:
- Take photos during the workshop, which may include me, for use in online or print promotional materials.
- Use anonymous quotes from my evaluations for marketing purposes.

Workshop Conduct & Copyright

Recording: I may not record any portion of the workshop (audio or video).

Photos: I may take photos only with permission from the trainer and other participants.

Workshop Materials: I may not reproduce, publish, or distribute workshop manuals or certification packet materials, except as needed for certification (e.g., client evaluation forms). Copyright must remain on all materials.

Certification Requirements

Full attendance at this course will fulfill two steps in the process of becoming a DONA Certified Doula-- the childbirth education component and the doula training. Further steps are required after the workshop.

Certificate Replacement Requests

In rare cases, such as trainer illness, SDA may shift the course to an online format. No refunds will be given, but I may choose to transfer to a future in-person training at no extra cost.

Refunds and Cancellations

No Make-ups or Refunds: Missed classes or portions of classes cannot be made up. Tuition is non-refundable once the workshop begins, regardless of attendance or eligibility to receive a Certificate of Attendance or CEUs.

One-Time Transfer Option: If I cancel my enrollment within 2 weeks of the workshop start date, I may transfer my enrollment once to another SDA workshop within 12 months at no extra cost. Additional transfers, or transfers requested outside of the 2-week window, are subject to a 10% transfer fee.

Rescheduled Workshops: If SDA must reschedule a workshop, no refunds will be given, but I will be offered alternative dates.

SDA Cancellations: If SDA cancels a workshop entirely, a full refund will be issued.

English Language Proficiency

All Sierra Doula Academy trainings are conducted in English. Students should possess sufficient English proficiency to understand course instruction, participate in discussions and activities, communicate with instructors and classmates, and complete certification-related requirements. Because our workshops are live, fast-paced, and highly interactive, students should be able to comfortably follow spoken English in real time and participate in class discussions without ongoing translation or interpretation support.
If English is not your first language and you have questions about whether this training is a good fit for your needs, please contact us prior to registration.

Participation Requirements

Our trainings are highly interactive and require active participation. Students are expected to attend all sessions live, remain present and engaged throughout the training, keep their cameras on during online workshops (unless otherwise instructed), and actively participate in discussions, activities, and breakout sessions.

Participation During Live Online Workshops

To ensure attendance and participation can be verified, students are expected to remain present for all instructional sessions, join from a quiet, private location that supports learning, and minimize distractions whenever possible. Students are responsible for arranging childcare and other personal responsibilities in advance. Extended absences or circumstances that prevent attendance and participation from being verified may result in ineligibility to receive a Certificate of Attendance and/or CEUs.

These participation requirements apply equally to all students and are necessary to maintain the integrity of Sierra Doula Academy's educational programs and continuing education offerings.
