Content Disclaimer. The text and other material in Educational Opportunities may include the opinion of the specific instructor and are not statements of advice, opinion, or information from the Society. If you feel you might be offended by the content of the Educational Opportunities, you should refrain from registering for the Educational Opportunities.
Content Availability
All content is released periodically throughout your membership. The reason for this is that it might take a while to process your payment for the membership tier you selected. Typically it takes 5-10 business days to verify and confirm your payment so due to the nature of digital products a number of our more valuable resources will be made available to you after 10 days. If you have been notified by your bank that your payment has been approved and would like to access the content immediately please contact our team by email at:
