A payment is considered complete when the payment is received by IDEA either by check, money transfer or in the form of a credit card payment (Master card or Visa). Variations to the payment schedule will be considered as a cancellation (see cancellation policy).

Six months prior to the course, the course seat can be either transferred to another course for free or it can be cancelled. If the course seat is cancelled at any time, the original deposit of $750 for clinician courses or $500 for dental technician courses will be forfeited.
Between four and six months prior to the course, the seat can be transferred to another course with the payment of an administrative fee of $250. Cancellation of the course is not possible. All course transfers are subject to space availability and the price of the newly selected course applies. A course transfer is possible only one time.
120 days prior to the course only name transfers are possible. A name transfer can be made at any time prior to the course upon written request from both parties. Any money paid will be transferred to the new participant and any balance due will be the responsibility of the new participant. Name transfers between 6 to 4 months prior to the course are free of charge, within 120 days prior to the course a $250 administrative fee is charged. If IDEA is able to fill the course from a waiting list, the participant can transfer to another course with the payment of a administrative fee of $250.
