Registration FAQ

1. What do your courses cover?

We create our courses for specific audiences - including application developers, system designers, software architects and technical managers - and tailor the course to meet the student's profile. Our courses incorporate the latest technologies and techniques to help keep our client's skills current and relevant. All courses consist of hands-on lab exercises and case studies where students can gain first-hand experience with the tools and technology.

Our topics vary from Object Oriented Methodologies to Java, J2EE, EJB, Web Services and XML.

2. How much do the courses cost?

Costs vary by course. Please check out our public schedule for pricing.

3. What is payment policy?

Payments must be received at least seven (7) business days before the start of class. Until a form of payment is received, the student's seat in the class is not guaranteed.

Registration can be confirmed by payment with a major Credit Card (Visa, MC, AMEX). We do accept other forms of payment but these require prior approval from the Public Schedule Manager (PSM). After registration, you will receive an acknowledgement from the PSM. Please contact the PSM within 24 hours for payment.

For courses that begin in less than 10 business days, only credit card payment is accepted. We usually close enrollment 5 business days before the first day of class.

4. What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations received at least 10 business days prior to the event receive a full refund. We will not refund any cancellation or reschedule request that we receive in less than 5 business days before the start date. If you are unable to attend the class for which you have registered, it is your responsibility to inform us within the cancellation period. We will give you a refund or reschedule you to the next available class you desire. Sorry, we do not refund tuition for "no-shows."

5. What is the cancellation liability?

Liability is limited to the return of payment only. InferData reserves the right to cancel or reschedule events for any reason. We do not reimburse travel or hotel cancellation fees or penalties.

Does the course price include all expenses such as travel, food and boarding expense?
No, it is the student's responsibility to take care of boarding, meals and other travel expenses. We do offer a continental breakfast and complimentary refreshments during class.

6. Do you have discounts for large groups?

If your group is large enough, consider setting up on-site training. In some cases, we are able to combine small developer groups from the same city or region into an on-site training. Also, we offer favorable rates when your company wants to send multiple developers to public course trainings. We offer a 10% discount when we receive registration for three or more students for the same course, same date, from a single company.
