&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Debido a la popularidad de estos cursos y la necesidad de ordenar los materiales por adelantado, NO SE HAR&amp;Aacute;N REEMBOLSOS. Si tiene que cancelar, llame a la oficina de la Asociaci&amp;oacute;n antes de la fecha del curso y se har&amp;aacute; todo lo posible para que se inscriba en otro curso (si el espacio lo permite). Se cobrara un costo de $40 por reprogramaci&amp;oacute;n de clase.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
