Sarga Bodywork Course Policies

Instructor: Chuck Hong – Certified Sarga Bodywork Instructor | Las Vegas

Course Tuition

All course tuition is non-refundable.

Tuition may be transferred to a different Chuck Hong hosted course if your request is submitted at least 60 days prior to the course start date. A $75 transfer fee applies.

Registrations made within 60 days of the course are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Drop-Out and No-Show Policy

If you do not attend the course you registered for, and did not request a transfer at least 60 days in advance, your tuition will be forfeited. No exceptions, no refunds.

We strongly recommend purchasing refundable airfare or trip insurance in case of illness, emergency, or unexpected scheduling conflicts.

Student Course Transfers

All transfer requests must be submitted in writing via email.

  • Transfers are valid only between Chuck Hong’s courses.

  • Transfers must be used within 12 months of the original course date.

  • A $75 transfer fee and any tuition difference will apply.

  • Transfers are not available within 60 days of the course start date.

Course Cancellation by Instructor

If Chuck Hong must cancel or postpone a course for any reason, you will be offered:

  • A full refund of your tuition, or

  • A free transfer to a future course

Chuck Hong or Sarga Bodywork is not responsible for reimbursing travel, lodging, or other personal expenses under any circumstance.

Incomplete Attendance

Sarga Bodyworks courses do not offer partial credit. To receive CEUs or a Course Completion Certificate, students must:

  • Attend all scheduled course hours

  • Arrive on time and stay for the full duration

  • Complete all hands-on and practical components

If an emergency arises, students must notify the instructor immediately. Missed hours may be made up with a certified Sarga instructor at the student’s expense. These hours must be completed within three months of the course start date. After that, a full course retake is required to receive credit.

Student Dismissal

Chuck Hong reserves the right to dismiss any student from class if he deems:

  1. The student is unsafe, disruptive, or inappropriate

  2. The student requires support beyond what can be offered in a group setting

  3. The student cannot meet the physical conditioning required for barefoot massage

  4. The student is physically unfit to safely give or receive bodywork

If a situation like this arises, the instructor will consult with Sarga Bodywork headquarters to determine appropriate next steps. If the student is dismissed:

  • If approved, tuition paid may be credited toward future instruction (valid for 18 months).

  • In some cases, a partial or full refund may be issued at the discretion of the instructor and Sarga Bodywork.

  • Neither Chuck Hong nor Sarga Bodywork is responsible for reimbursing airfare, lodging, or other travel-related expenses resulting from dismissal.

Come to Class Prepared

This is a high-level, physically demanding continuing education course for massage professionals.

Students are expected to:

  • Show up on time, well rested, and ready to train

  • Respect the instructor, fellow students, and the learning environment

  • Maintain good hygiene and professional behavior

  • Be mentally and physically prepared for barefoot bodywork — this includes working on a raised table, balancing on one leg to deliver techniques, and using a fabric strap for support and stability.

If you’re looking for an easy/casual CEU, this may not be the right course.
