Payment and Fees
To secure your enrollment in the ASHA Sound Therapy Practitioner Training, payment must be made in full upfront, including when selecting a 3-month or 6-month payment plan. No access to course materials will be granted until the full course fee is received. ASHA reserves the right to suspend or cancel access for non-payment. All fees are strictly non-refundable, except as outlined in the ASHA Refund Policy.
Refund Policy
All payments, including those under a payment plan, are non-refundable. Students must complete full payment to receive certification. In exceptional personal circumstances, a written request for extension or cancellation may be submitted to the ASHA Board of Directors. All such decisions are at the Board's sole discretion. No refunds will be issued due to:
● Change of mind
● Platform or internet access issues
● Economic blackouts, natural disasters, or shutdowns
Directory Access
Only current, paid Gold members are eligible for listing in the ASHA Practitioner Directory. Directory inclusion is a benefit, not a guarantee of income or referrals. ASHA reserves the right to:
● Remove listings for inactive or lapsed members
● Deny directory access for Code of Conduct violations
● Adjust or suspend directory functionality without notice due to maintenance or outages
Attendance and Participation
The training is self-paced. Students are expected to complete all coursework, assignments, and assessments within a 12-month period. Upon successful completion, students receive a 300-hour Certificate in Sound Therapy. Active participation in Zoom sessions and assignments is encouraged for a richer experience.
Course Content Updates
ASHA reserves the right to update or revise course content, assessments, and delivery methods as needed to reflect new research, feedback, and best practices. Any changes will aim to enhance student learning while keeping additional workload to a minimum.
Code of Conduct
All students must act respectfully and professionally. Discrimination, harassment, or disruptive behavior will result in removal from the course without refund.
Intellectual Property
All course content is the intellectual property of ASHA. Reproduction or sharing without written permission is prohibited. Legal action will be taken for any breach.

ASHA collects personal data for educational and certification purposes only. Your data is not shared outside ASHA unless required by law. See full Privacy Policy on our website.
Filming and Photography Waiver
Participation in ASHA live Zooms and events constitutes consent to be filmed/recorded. These may be used for internal training or promotional purposes.

No part of this site constitutes medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice. By participating in ASHA programs or using our resources, you accept full responsibility for your choices and outcomes.
2. Economic Shutdowns & Force Majeure
In the event of national or global economic disruptions such as blackouts, pandemics, platform outages, or payment processing failures, ASHA will make every effort to restore access to courses, digital products, and member areas.
However, no refunds or fee reversals will be granted under such circumstances. Your purchase or enrolment supports ASHA’s continuity as a registered not-for-profit, and ensures resources remain available when operations resume.
3. Course Refund Policy
ASHA Sound Therapy Practitioner Courses and any downloadable content including audio files, templates, and certificates are strictly non-refundable. By enrolling, you gain immediate access to protected materials, and therefore forfeit the right to refund under consumer law exceptions relating to digital content delivery.
This policy remains in effect whether you do not complete the course, experience changes in personal or financial circumstances, or encounter temporary internet or platform access interruptions.
4. Membership Refund Policy (Gold, Silver, Platinum)
All ASHA memberships, including Gold, Silver, and Platinum tiers, are non-refundable once activated. This applies whether purchased directly or granted as part of a course enrolment or promotion.
Upon activation, members gain access to digital badge(s), member directories, insurance pathways, event invitations, and toolkits and education resources.
No full or partial refunds will be issued for change of mind, early cancellation, inactivity or non-participation, or economic shutdowns or technical disruptions.
Membership fees support ASHA’s educational, operational, and advocacy efforts as a Public Company Limited by Guarantee.
5. Directory Listing Policy
ASHA provides an online Practitioner Directory as a benefit for eligible Gold members only. Listings offer visibility to the public and are intended to support professional outreach for qualified sound therapists.
By submitting a profile to the ASHA directory, you agree to maintain an active paid Gold membership, ensure listing information is accurate, and promote only services within your training and insurance coverage.
Your listing may be removed without notice if your membership lapses or if you breach ASHA's Code of Conduct. Directory visibility may be affected by technical outages or updates. No refunds will be issued for downtime.
