Student Feedback Procedure
At the end of a course, each student completes a course evaluation for the course, the instructor, our facilities, and our customer service. This line of feedback is very important to us, and we encourage all students to feel comfortable using this system. We use these evaluations as a tool to improve our services. We welcome all comments and feedback.
It is important for the student to be satisfied with our services. Part of achieving this satisfaction requires the quick and amicable resolution of any dispute between the student and IMPACT Professional Training. The best way this task can be accomplished is through immediate discussion between the parties. However, we also have a formal student feedback procedure in place that can be utilized at any time.
A student wishing to escalate his/her complaint should follow the steps listed below:
The student may take the grievance directly to the instructor or their Student Services Representative at any time or submit a written complaint. Most situations can be resolved quickly as soon as the instructor or staff becomes aware of the problem. If the student is not satisfied with the solution, the student may contact our management. Grievance meetings can be conducted over the phone or in person. For students located in Chattanooga or Johnson City, the Director can offer a convenient day and time to be at the Chattanooga or Johnson City school location for the meeting. The Director will oversee the gathering of additional data about the issue or incident as necessary to determine a final decision. The final decision will be made by the Director within seven (7) calendar days of receiving the verbal or written complaint. The student will receive a formal written resolution within (7) days.
Students may register any complaints to:
Shannon Byars, Director
