Questions before class.

Start with the current schedule. Open the class you want to review its dates, location, price, availability, and registration terms, then use that class's Register action. Your registration is complete only after the registration provider reports a successful order.

Deposit options and balance deadlines can vary by class. Use the amount and due-date terms shown for the specific class and by the registration provider before payment. If those terms are unclear, contact us before registering rather than relying on a general policy.

Available payment methods are the methods displayed by the registration provider at checkout. If you need a different arrangement, contact us before registering so we can confirm what is actually available for that class.

Foundation is the fundamentals lane. Advanced builds on those mechanics with positional, tripod, and field-style work. Performance is the competition lane, while Experience and one-on-one offerings are published or arranged separately. The individual class page is the source of truth for prerequisites; contact us if your experience does not fit neatly into one lane.

Requirements vary by course and venue. Use the packing list on the class page and the instructions sent for that registration as the final checklist. If you are missing equipment or considering a purchase, contact us before buying so we can help you prioritize for the specific class.

Capacity depends on the course, instructor team, and venue. Check the specific class listing for current availability. If class size is important to your decision and the listing does not answer it, contact us before registering.

If a background check is required for your class, follow the course-specific registration and post-registration instructions. Third-party fees, links, and processing times can change, so use the instructions provided for your registration instead of a static quote on this page.

Every published class lists its current city, state, venue information, and dates when those details are available. Lodging, travel, and arrival instructions vary by event; assume they are not included unless the class terms explicitly say otherwise. Registered students should use their event instructions for final logistics.

Range conditions and physical demands depend on the venue and course format. Review the class description and registered-student instructions, prepare for the forecast, and contact us before registering if mobility, terrain, or another condition could affect safe participation.

Cancellation, transfer, refund, and deposit terms can vary by course. Review the course-specific terms shown before payment, or contact us before registering if you need clarification.

Contact us as soon as you know there may be a problem. We will review the class-specific terms and your registration, then explain the options that actually apply. Reaching out does not by itself guarantee a refund, transfer, credit, or changed payment schedule.

Use the registration provider's successful order message and confirmation email as the record of your registration. A class page, checkout link, pending screen, or message sent to The Cadre is not confirmation by itself. Contact us if payment completed but the provider did not confirm the order.
