Frequently asked questions

When does the workshop start?: We are working hard to bring you the best possible workshop. Sing up to get notified when we are ready for registration.
Can I get reimbursed?: We hope so! We've had students in the past ask their boss or HR department and get reimbursement for the ClojureStream Courses and we believe the same thing can work here. More and more organizations are encouraging their teams to contribute by learning.
What is the refund policy?: If you are no longer able to participate in the workshop or feel it's not a fit, you can withdraw your enrollment in exchange for a full refund provided you make your request no later than one 14 days before workshop start. No withdrawals or refunds are possible after this date. No deferrals or transfers are possible at any time. If we won't be able to deliver the workshop after purchase we'll do a full refund to all participants.
