Students are being denied entry due to coming late!
Frankly, we are getting complaints from the Canadian Red Cross about students that we send to their facility who are getting denied entry because they have arrived late. Please note that The Canadian Red Cross has strict attendance policies and clearly specify that 100% attendance is MANDATORY. There are NO exceptions. The rule that they have is if:
- The time is 20 minutes past the start time
OR
- The class has already progressed to chapter 2 or beyond chapter 2.
The doors are closed and no one can be admitted.
The issue with our students getting denied is becoming such a huge issue to the point where the instructor is being harassed, pressured, and intimidated, which delays the class and negatively degrades the learning experience.
Moving forward, effective October 28, 2020, anyone who is denied entry and berates the instructor will be IMMEDIATELY withdrawn from the course. It is against our academy policies and their academy policies to ignore academy instructions, intimidate, berate, and / or pressure staff. The instructor does NOT have the authority to admit people in past the deadline.
