a) Credit Card or PayPal on the website b) Bank wire transfer or Western Union c) Telephone or e-mail (through a credit card)

EWB training courses may be subject to sales taxes, in which case they are inclusive in the fee. Course fees include tuition on the day(s) of the course offering, all relevant course materials and taxes (if applicable). Courses which include free shipping of certificates or other materials require 4-6 weeks for arrival at destination.* All shipped items are sent through regular postal service without tracking.

If items do not arrive at the destination, EWB will provide proof of shipment to the address provided and students agree that this will render shipping services complete and will alleviate EWB of further responsibility or liability related to shipping. Students have the option to pay for premium shipping services which can guarantee delivery. In such instances, a handling fee is charged, along with any related shipping fees. Students can also pay for regular shipping (which includes a EWB handling fee and all related shipping fees) in case materials do not arrive at destination through no fault of EWB . EWB will be deemed free of fault upon providing proof of shipment.

At the discretion of EWB , you may also be allowed to switch courses in special circumstances within 7 days of registration.
11 – Notarization & Authentication
EWB Institute does not provide notarization or authentication services for certificates or diplomas, either to existing or former students. It is the student’s responsibility to notarize, authenticate, legalize or apostille certificates and diplomas. Typically, students are able to have certificates or diplomas notarized and authenticated by contacting the appropriate governmental bodies and following the required steps. In some instances, the certificate or diploma may need to be notarized, either in the state of California or in another location. EWB does not provide this service, either for free or for a fee. However, at EWB ‘s discretion and in exceptional circumstances, EWB Institute may provide only notarization service for a fee as determined by EWB . In virtually all cases, it is the students responsibility to get certificates or diplomas notarized. There are companies that provide notarization and authentication/apostille services for a fee and students may also make arrangements with these companies to obtain notarization or authentication services. If an additional original copy of a certificate or diploma is required for notarization or authentication purposes, students may order this for a fee from EWB Institute. Students may contact EWB to obtain names of some companies that offer notarization and apostille services.
