Class Dates and Time

From the 8th of July through the 21st of July, 2024, enrolled course registrants will have on-demand access to recorded video lectures, downloadable course materials, and the web discussion forum on the ASPEN Training Center at aspeninc.teachable.com website. There will be two web-meeting sessions, where ASPEN instructors will be available for Q&A and discussion. The network license key to run the training software will be available during the same period of time.

Teachable.com Account and Training Software

Course registrants will need to create their own teachable.com account to access the course materials, take part in discussion sessions, and receive the completion certificate.

The ASPEN OneLiner training software will be made available to all course registrants for practice and exercise on their personal Windows PC. The use of the training software for this course is recommended even if students already have access to the production version of the OneLiner program.

The training software setup program download link and installation instructions will be sent by email to all enrolled students at least 5 business days before the course start date. Full windows admin privileges will be required for successful software installation.

To run the training software, the computer must have uninterrupted internet access to the ASPEN server, where the license key is installed. 

Cancellation Policy

If you cannot attend, you can transfer the registration to another person from your company. If you wish to cancel, we will refund the registration fee provided that you notify us by writing two weeks before the start date of the class. There will be no refund or transfer for students who started but did not complete the course.

Sales Tax Refund

ASPEN uses Teachables.com to collect the training fees, and under their guidelines, when the transaction qualifies for sales tax in your state, they must collect it. Students from tax-exempt organizations who purchase products or services on the Teachable platform, should fill out the form here to submit a refund request. The refund request should include a copy of the purchase receipt showing the sales tax paid and Order ID, as well as a copy of their state sales tax exemption certificate.
