Terms of Use

Effective date: September 2, 2026

Educational Information, Not Legal Advice

Website content is general professional education and is not legal advice, a legal opinion, a court directive, or a substitute for reviewing current law, the operative court order, local court procedures, agency policy, or advice from qualified counsel.

Independent Training Provider and Credential Scope

Bridging Families Academy is an independent training provider. Its California Professional Supervised Visitation and Exchange Services Provider Training is designed to align with the training requirements of California Family Code §3200.5 and California Standard of Judicial Administration 5.20. An Academy certificate documents completion of Academy requirements and is not a state license, government certification, court appointment, or guarantee of professional eligibility. Individual courts may have additional local requirements or may determine what training documentation they will accept.

Coming-Soon and Interest-List Offerings

The Academy may publish planned courses before dates, tuition, curriculum, materials, or enrollment are finalized. An interest-list submission requests future information only; it does not constitute enrollment, reserve a seat, require payment, or guarantee that a planned course will be offered in a particular format or on a particular date.

Attendance Modalities, Tuition, and Enrollment

The Academy may offer Live In-Classroom Training and Live Instructor-Led Virtual Classroom Training as attendance modalities for the same 12-hour live instructor-led curriculum, including concurrent delivery when designated for a cohort. The 24-hour program includes 12 verified live instructional hours and 12 guided self-paced hours. Current tuition is $499 for either attendance modality unless a written cohort notice states otherwise. Dates, instructional times, capacity, venue or platform procedures, payment deadlines, refunds, transfers, and enrollment status are governed by the written cohort notice and Enrollment and Attendance Policy.

Accuracy and Current Sources

Laws, standards, forms, links, and local procedures may change. The Academy seeks to use reliable sources, but users are responsible for confirming current official information.

Intellectual Property and Participant Recording

Academy materials, presentations, exercises, written content, graphics, recordings, assessments, and instructional methods may be protected by copyright and other rights. Participants may not record, photograph, screen-capture, livestream, reproduce, distribute, sell, publish, or share protected content or participant information without written authorization.

Academy Recording

The Academy may record sessions or designated portions with advance notice and any required consent procedure for attendance verification, quality assurance, accessibility, or resolution of an attendance dispute. Academy recordings are restricted, are not distributed as course replays, and do not replace live attendance.

Appropriate Use

Users may not interfere with the website, attempt unauthorized access, submit unlawful or deceptive information, impersonate another person, transmit malicious code, or use forms for spam or harassment.

External Links

External links are provided for convenience and reference. The Academy does not control external content, availability, security, or policies.
