Why Isn't Your Phone Number Published on Your Website?         Can you send me information about the course by mail? For your convenience, full and extensive course details are published right online. We know how excited and eager our visitors are to learn what we have to offer, so by putting all of our full course description online you never have to wait for an info packet to arrive by mail before you can make a decision on whether this is the course for you. You get instant and immediate access to our full course information online. Because we provide such detailed course information online, we do not also send out printed course descriptions. SuperWeddings™ prides itself on being an environmentally conscious company and we aren't comfortable with needlessly producing excessive paper. In the past when we sent out info by mail, students often told us that they had already decided to take the course before the printed material even arrived - based on the extensive details on our website. Therefore, since most students are very happy to access our full course description online, we now make it available exclusively on the internet - and that saves a lot of trees! We feel its important to do our part to help preserve the environment for future generations. Of course, when you actually order the training program, all of your training materials will be delivered right to your door in printed format. You are not required to study the lessons online, or to download the material. After you register for the course, you will receive a shipment containing our large training manual, which you can study anywhere, any time, in comfort and convenience, and at any rate of speed which is suitable for you. Read it while curled up in your favorite chair, by the pool, on the bus, when resting in bed, at your desk, in the doctor's waiting room - or wherever you like! Studying for your new wedding career is so convenient. If you're like most of our students, you won't be able to put our information-packed training manual down! If you have any other questions, or if there is any other way in which we may assist you or help to meet your needs, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help! Back to Top   What is the cost of the course? The cost of the course is $495 (US Funds), as indicated on the Wedding Consultant Course information page . As you can see, its extremely inexpensive as compared to other programs, and yet it provides the most thorough, practical, and effective training available anywhere in the industry either here in the US and Canada, or abroad. Since this program was launched nearly a decade ago, we've always made it our goal to offer the most extensive, thorough, practical, and effective training program available, while also charging the lowest fee in the industry. We are committed to delivering the absolute maximum value to you, our students. Unlike with other programs, you are not required to pay any membership dues in order to be eligible for our course (membership in the International Institute of Weddings is available strictly at your option, and when you register for the course, you will be eligible to purchase a membership at a dramatically reduced fee). We do not charge for instructor mentoring and assistance, or certification; nor do we charge testing fees for either of the two tests required to earn the certificate for the program. There are no hidden fees. Your one payment of $495 (plus shipping and handling) is the full course cost, with everything included. If you purchase the course on our payment plan, the cost is just slightly more because of the additional shipping, handling, processing and service fees we incur, however, it is still much less expensive than other programs, despite offering so much more. If you have any other questions, or if there is any other way in which we may assist you or help to meet your needs, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help! Back to Top   How do I register for the course? The general course information page on our website provides you with links to the registration pages, but perhaps you overlooked it in your excitement! Registration is simple and convenient. Simply go to: The Course Registration page if you are located in the US or Canada OR The International Course Registration page if you are an International Student (not located in the US or Canada). You will be able to register conveniently online and remit your course fee instantly by credit card via our secure server. Your privacy and security is completely assured. We use state of the art fraud screening software and encryption software so your transaction and credit card details are entirely secure. No one but you and your bank will ever see your credit card information (not even us) because when you key it in, the information is communicated directly to your bank. We've been processing credit card payments for registrations for this program online since 1999 (thousands of them), and have never encountered a single problem thanks to the very advanced privacy protection and security measures we use to protect our online transactions. If you do not have a credit card, it is not possible to register online and you will need to send your registration by mail. As soon as your registration is processed, your training materials will be on their way to you via either UPS or Express Mail. As a general guideline, you can expect your shipment to be delivered right to your door within about a week to 14 days after registering. PLEASE NOTE: If your credit card payment is declined for no apparent reason, please let us know - it's usually something we can resolve for you very quickly. It may simply mean that the communication lines from our system to your bank are extremely busy at the time and therefore your transaction is timing-out before it gets completed (similar to when you are at the check-out in a store and your transaction does not go through the first time your card is swiped). It could also mean that the fraud screening software we use for your protection is being overly sensitive and it is declining your transaction because it isn't entirely certain that you are really the authorized card holder. This doesn't happen often, but if it does, we're usually able to get it easily resolved. Please understand that our fraud protection systems are in place for the benefit of you, the consumer. We want to make certain that no unauthorized person is using your credit card account to purchase from us, so our software is configured to always err on the side of caution if it detects any inconsistencies. Just let us know if this happens, and once we've made sure you are who you say you are, your order will be on its way to you! If you have any other questions, or if there is any other way in which we may assist you or help to meet your needs, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help! Back to Top   Will I receive a certificate upon completing the course? Absolutely. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive an attractive certificate issued by The International Institute of Weddings, suitable for framing, complete with the official certification seal of The International Institute of Weddings, which you can proudly display to your clients and business associates. The certificate you earn from this program is an important credential. It confirms that you have completed a long established, well-recognized and highly reputed training program, and reassures the people you are doing business with of your qualification. Your certificate shows that you are serious about your career and that you are invested in it. This is important because when clients are considering who to hire to handle the most important day of their lives, they want to see that you are serious and qualified, and that your involvement in wedding consulting isn't just a passing whim. Your certificate helps provide them with that assurance. If you have any other questions, or if there is any other way in which we may assist you or help to meet your needs, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help! Back to Top   Will I be "Certified" after completing the course? Yes indeed. Upon successfully completing the training program, you will be Certified by the International Institute of Weddings, a well respected and long-established professional organization and training institution in the wedding industry for many years. In case you are not aware, the International Institute of Weddings is a sister-company of SuperWeddings.com. Both The Institute and SuperWeddings.com were founded by internationally recognized wedding expert, Linda Kevich. Unlike other programs, there is no additional fee for certification. If you have any other questions, or if there is any other way in which we may assist you or help to meet your needs, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help! Back to Top   Do you offer a payment plan? Yes, in order to make this program easily available to all students, we currently offer a 2-part payment plan, 4-part payment plan, 12 month payment plan, and 18 month payment plan for those who need it. Two or Four Part Payment Plan: When you purchase the course on the payment plan, you will receive your course materials in 2 or 4 separate shipments, rather than all at one time. This costs a little more in shipping, handling, and administration but is still much less expensive than any other legitimate course in the industry. Of course, if you are able to pay the full fee at one time, it's preferable to do so because not only will you save the extra shipping and handling costs, you will receive all of the course material at one time, and you will be able to move through the course more quickly, without having your studies interrupted while you wait for the next installment of training material to arrive. If you simply can't afford the full course fee at one time, the payment plan enables you to get started on your way to your new career now, with no need to wait. You'll find the payment breakdown for the payment plans here: 2 or 4 Part Payment Plan - US/Canadian Students or 2 or 4 Part Payment Plan - International Students 12 or 18 Part Installment Plan: These extended payment plans enable you to stretch your course fee out over a longer period of time so that you can make small monthly payments ($36 - $55 per month). You training material will be shipped in individual monthly units. This provides a great option to enable you to get started moving toward your wedding planner career now, even if you can't come up with the full course fee at once. The course does take longer to complete on the extended payment plans, so if you are able to pay for the course in full you will be able to move through it more quickly. However, we do give you the option to pay off the course at any time if you are able on the extended plans, so that you can obtain all of the remaining course lessons at once, and finish as quickly as you like. You'll find further details and the registration links for these extended payment plans here: 12 Month Installment Plan ($55/month) or 18 Month Installment Plan ($36/month) As you can see, we are very dedicated to providing as much assistance to our students as possible tomake the program attainable for them. We give you flexibility and options so that this already very afforably priced course can be tailored to fit any budget. If you want to be a wedding planner, we're here to help you make it happen! Keep in mind, however, that the fewer installments you make, the faster you will be able to get through the course and earn your certification. There is also a cost savings when you make fewer payments. NOTE: If you find that none of these programs suits your needs, please let us know, as we are always interested in what we can do to better serve you. We are here to help you in any way possible. To purchase the course using one of the payment plan options, please use the links above to be taken to the appropriate payment plan page and you will be billed only for your first installment, as opposed to the full course fee. Your shipment containing your training materials will be on its way to you as soon as your payment is received and processed. You can expect it to arrive by either UPS or insured Express Mail in about one week to 14 days after you place your order. You're shipment will contact full contact info to your instructor so that you can contact her anytime, and you will also received a welcome email from her within a short time of registering for the course. If you have any other questions, or if there is any other way in which we may assist you, or in which we may better meet your needs, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help!   Back to Top   I do not live in the US or Canada; Do you accept international students? Absolutely! Not only do we accept international students, we welcome and embrace them! This program was specifically developed to train wedding consultants on an international basis. We've been training students in countries all around the world since for close to a decade. This program is the first ever to develop its content with the intent to make it relevant, effective, and applicable on an international basis. Going back years, we offered some of the earliest wedding consultant training in the UK, Australia, South Africa, Nigeria, Luxembourg and many, many other countries. As our long term track record and history demonstrates, we truly are pioneers in this field, and are recognized as leaders in the international wedding industry. If you have any other questions, or if there is any other way in which we may assist you or help to meet your needs, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help! Back to Top     I do not have a credit card; How else can I remit payment of my course fee? If you don't have a credit card you can remit your course fee by mailing a money order or bank draft. We recommend that you send it via insured mail. Personal checks are also accepted, but please take note that it will take longer to process your order if you pay by personal check as we will have to wait for the funds to clear your bank. Full instructions for mailing payment can be found towards the bottom of the wedding consultant course page. Please note that we only accept credit cards online - please do not mail credit card details to us. If you have a credit card the best way to place your order is online - your order will be shipped much faster.

Back to Top   Can I Register for the Course By Phone? For your own protection and security, we only accept orders online, via our secure server, and are unable to  accept credit card information by phone. Please allow us to explain how this is for your PROTECTION and provides you with a superior level of credit card security: When you place your order online through our system, your credit card information is 100% encrypted, meaning no person other than yourself is ever able to view your credit card details (account number, expiry date, etc).  Your credit card number is kept hidden even from ourselves - we never see it on our end.  This process ensures your credit card details are kept 100% private and secure when you place your order, unlike when you order by telephone -- where you are giving your credit card details to a complete stranger. Our credit card transactions are completely secure. You enter your own credit card details, over a secure server (meaning what you enter becomes encrypted so no one can ever "eavesdrop"). When you enter your credit card details, they are transmitted directly from you to your bank, so no one other than you and your bank ever see your account number. On our end, we see only the type of card you've used (IE: Visa, Mastercard, etc.) your name, address, phone number, etc - none of your account information is viewable to us.  We hope you can see how our state of the art system provides you with a highly advanced level of credit card security and protection when you make a purchase with us. This protection is not possible when you place an order by phone and provide your credit card details to the operator on the other end of the line -- who could then easily record them and mis-use them if they were so inclined. This system provides you, the customer, with the peace of mind in knowing that your credit card details can never been accessed and mis-used by a third party. We also use online fraud-screening software which has methods of ensuring that only the person who is the authorized card holder is entering the credit card information - not someone who is inappropriately using another person's credit card information to make a purchase. Our server is 100% secure and encrypted, meaning that our software makes it entirely impossible for anyone behind the scenes to view information you are entering. Compare this to when you make a purchase in a restaraunt, or at a full service gas station, where the server or attendant walks away with your card to process the transaction. Or as mentioned earlier, when you are placing a phone order. You are giving your credit card details to a complete stranger who can then easily write them down and use them for their own purposes. As you can see, our method of processing your payment is as secure as it gets. We have been processing thousands of online transactions every year, safely and securely since 1999 and have never had never had a single security problem. We hope this helps to reassure you that your online transaction with us is not only 100% safe, it is actually much more secure than placing an order by phone.  If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. Back to Top   Why Isn't Your Phone Number Published on Your Website? Our telephone number is (204) 663-7784.  It is also easily accessible through Directory Assistance. However, email is our preferred method of communication for efficiency purposes, and our office is therefore streamlined towards email as our primary mode of communication. We prefer email because it provides a permanent written record of all communications, so that there can be no misunderstandings as may often occur in verbal discussions when conversations move quickly and something can be missed or misunderstood. Afterall, this course is developed by wedding planners, for wedding planners - and wedding planners put everything in writing (perhaps even more than lawyers!) so there can be no room left for error or misunderstanding. It's simply prudent. We approach communicaton during this course with the same level of seriousness. Email messages always receive a detailed and thorough reply. Certainly, however, if ever there is a problem that you feel can not be resolved via email you are welcome to call. Because email is our preferred method of communication, our priority is on returning email messages before voice mail messages. So you will always get the fastest reply via email, and we ask that you contact us that way. We understand that some people just feel better knowing that a telephone number exists, so we are happy to provide it, above, for the sense of security it provides. And again, you can also easily call Directory Assistance to obtain or verify the phone number for SuperWeddings.com. Back to Top
