BMC provides scheduled time with an instructor as a part of your ASP course. Please send an email to [email protected]requesting a scheduled appointment with an instructor. The number of instructor hours available to you varies by ASP course. Please verify this information prior to purchasing an ASP course. The course abstract contains full details.

Instructor Appointment Details:

• Once an appointment is confirmed, the allotted time is scheduled as requested. There are no add-ons or extensions.
• If more time is needed with the instructor than was scheduled, the student must request another appointment via the ASP email.
• The minimum appointment time is 30 minutes. Any unused minutes in an instructor scheduled session are considered consumed and will be deducted from the student’s allotment of minutes.
• No Shows for instructor appointments – the scheduled minutes will be deducted from the student’s purchased minutes.
• BMC technical difficulties, such as a Lync failure, will not be counted against the student. The student should email the instructor at the scheduled time if the instructor cannot be reached via Lync/Skype.
• Unused instructor time is considered lost time – no exceptions.
• Scheduled instructor time must be used within 90 days of registration date.

Reschedule requests must be submitted at least twenty-four (24 hours) in advance of the scheduled appointment time. Send an email to [email protected] containing the details of your original appointment and a request to reschedule at your earliest convenience. This will allow us to reassign your session.
