  • Attend all required instructional hours
  • Participate in required discussions, exercises, and activities

Private Training

Key Private-Class Rules

Billing

Seven-Participant Minimum

Private classes generally use a seven-participant billing minimum unless the accepted quote or agreement states otherwise.

Participant Limit

Standard Maximum of 20

Some courses require a lower limit because of practical skills, instructor ratios, equipment, facilities, provider rules, or safety.

Confirmation

Written Approval Required

A requested class is not confirmed until Tampa Bay Training accepts the date and the required quote, purchase order, contract, or other authorization is approved.

The accepted quote, purchase order, or contract controls the final engagement terms. It should identify the course, delivery format, participant limit, schedule, responsibilities, pricing, travel, and applicable special costs.

Live-Online Training

Scheduled Online Classes Are Live Instructor-Led Training

Live-online classes are not self-paced. Participants attend at the advertised time and must meet applicable attendance, technology, participation, testing, and course requirements.

Technology & Environment

  • Use an appropriate computer when required
  • Maintain reliable internet access
  • Use a functioning microphone and camera when required
  • Attend from a safe, stationary, distraction-controlled location
  • Test equipment before class
  • Follow the specific course's technology instructions

Attendance & Testing

  • Attend the full required instructional period
  • Remain visible and engaged when camera use is required
  • Follow identity-verification procedures
  • Complete required examinations independently
  • Do not receive unauthorized assistance
  • Follow provider-specific testing and participation requirements
Technology failure does not automatically waive attendance or testing requirements. Contact Customer Service promptly if a technical problem occurs.

Self-Paced Online Learning

Digital Access Has Different Rules

Self-paced programs are completed independently through the applicable learning platform and are governed by the course provider's access, completion, credential, and technical requirements.

  • Verify applicable system requirements
  • Confirm spelling of the participant's name

  • Credential timing depends on the applicable provider

Refunds, Cancellations & Exchanges

Different Training Formats Have Different Rules

Open enrollment, private training, and self-paced online courses involve different scheduling, instructor, travel, material, digital-license, and provider commitments.

Open Enrollment The applicable Eventbrite refund deadline and listing terms control.
Private Training The accepted quote or agreement controls; standard cancellation and exchange provisions apply when it is silent.
Self-Paced Access may be refundable before the course link is issued but generally not after digital access is delivered.
TBT Cancellation An available replacement or applicable refund option is provided.
