Promotional Discount Restrictions / Team Discounts |

When multiple people (3 or more) register for the same course (same location, same date) at the same time, with payment being made upon registration, each person will receive a 15% discount on that course, and it is considered a Team Discount. Registrants eligible for a team discount should call one of our training consultants at 1-800-BU-TRAIN (288-7246) to register, rather than registering online. Also call for information on corporate volume discounts for onsite or public classes.
Team discounts do not apply to our online courses, boot camps, or Certificate in Applied Project Management Program. These discounts do not apply to any of the courses that are part of the Center of Professional Education.
Promotional discounts restrictions may not be applied to current registrations or new registrations within a 60 day period of a previous cancellation for the same or similar course. Discounts may not be applied to corporate, private onsite contracts. These discounts may not be combined with any other discounts. ELearning offerings, 1 day classes, boot camps and the Certificate in Applied Project Management programs are not eligible.
