With GetCoached.in's training approach and content, it is likely that you will be successful in the exam. However, in case you are not able to pass the exam in 2 attempts, you can come back and attend the training, and give the exam again, without paying any additional fees. Here is how it works:
- The offer is applicable for individuals that had attended the 2 day classroom training from GetCoached.in
- The participant will be eligible for the offer if he/she took the exam within 1 month of the training start date, and has discussed with the trainer prior to scheduling the exam.
- The participant will need to reuse the training content provided in the first training program.
- The participant will be accommodated in the next available batch.
- The participant will need to provide the results of the exam, so as to guide him/her better.
- The participant will be eligible for this offer only once.
- The re-exam fee of $50 is covered by GetCoached.in
The reason GetCoached.in does not do a 100% guarantee is because it is not ethically correct, or practically possible for anyone to guarantee this. Some institutes that mention a guarantee, are only assuring that in 100% cases, you will get your training fee back. No one has any influence on the assessment system or result, to be able to guarantee 100% will pass the exam. Despite this, GetCoached.in ensures that a "go ahead" is given for the exam only to those that are ready from a preparation perspective, as assessed by the trainer.
