If the amount of the refund is more than the amount that you owe for the time you attended, then a refund will be made within 30 days of the date of determination of withdrawal. If the amount that you owe is more than the amount that you have already paid, then you will have to arrange to pay it.

 

Turnkey Institute refunds are as follows: 
                                   Total program charge

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Any unexcused absences during such probation period will be a cause for interruption of the student’s training program.

Student Grievance Procedures

 

Students are Turnkey Institute’s first priority, and the Institute believes the student’s education is of primary importance.  However, should there be any complaints or a problem concerning the educational process or school matters, the first step is to discuss the problem with an instructor.  The instructor will attempt to resolve the matter.  In the event that this proves unsatisfactory or the student does not wish to discuss the matter with an instructor, the student may address the problem to the School Director.  If the issue is still unresolved, the student may either make an appointment to see the CEO/President, Mr. Robert Turney, or write Mr. Turney a communiqué describing the issue and/or concern/complaint.  For students who convey their complaint in writing, Turnkey Institute shall within 10 days of receiving the complaint, provide the student with a written response, including a summary of the institution’s investigation and disposition of it.  Students may convey a complaint by communicating in writing to any teacher, administrator, and/or admissions personnel Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.  If the complaint or relief requested by the student is rejected, the reasons for the rejection will be provided. 

 

UNRESOLVED GRIEVANCES MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE BUREAU FOR PRIVATE POSTSECONDARY AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION, 400 R STREET, SUITE 5000, SACRAMENTO, CA, 95814, telephone (916) 445-3427.

CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATOR (COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL)

 

Length of Program                      462 Clock Hours, 14 Weeks

 

Course Description   By definition, estimating is “the act of appraising or valuing the worth of something.”  In construction, it is the science of mathematics, the knowledge of materials, and the art of interpretation of a blueprint.  This combination produces an assessment of a construction project that becomes the bid package, or proposal, and the basis of the construction contract.

 

There are two basic prerequisites for anyone wanting to learn these procedures:  1) knowledge of reading and measuring blueprints, and 2) knowledge of mathematics.
