Data Security Commitment

NTT is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. Our website has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide in computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit sensitive information (such as a credit card number) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining this information.

Online Course Registration Privacy

When you register for courses online, you will be asked to provide personal information including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access our web site. If you are registering on behalf of someone else (such as registering one or more employees) you will be asked to provide information about each participant including the participants’ names, addresses, and phone numbers. The information collected during the registration process is used to manage each registrant’s personal account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated. Exceptions occur where NTT, Inc. and a partner jointly promote our programs. NTT, Inc. may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and user name of persons who registered for a course as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. NTT, Inc. may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information that visitors provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of visitors). We may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to improve course offerings and develop product communications based on customer needs.

Online Promotional Communications

On our web site, you can submit personal information in order to receive materials such as our Course Catalog or registration packet. We share aggregated and non-identifying information about our visitors collected from these requests, as well as through online surveys and promotions. We may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver promotional communications via mail or email. For instance, if we want to contact electrical workers based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected, we may send an email, mail piece or other communication about our products to this audience. NTT, Inc. does not share personal information about its visitors with third parties except in the case of joint partner promotions (detailed above).

Responses to Email Inquiries

When visitors send email inquiries to NTT, Inc., the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. NTT, Inc. may use the return email address for sending visitors information by email, and does occasionally share the return email address with a third party.

Special Cases

It is NOT our policy to use or share personal information about visitors in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. We may disclose personal information about visitors or information regarding your use of NTT, Inc. web site, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, it is required to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating the law, or to protect NTT, Inc. and our visitors.

Attendance Monitoring Policy and Procedure

Policy Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to monitor student attendance to ensure compliance with the requirements and policies re the issuance of Certificates of Completion. The intent is to provide all students with the best opportunity to achieve the learning outcomes of their chosen class.

Policy Scope

This policy applies to all classes whether they are considered “mobile” or “onsite”.

Policy Content

Instructors will closely monitor the sign-in sheet each day in order to ensure that students attending class are properly identified and that those who sign in remain in the class throughout the day. The monitoring process is repeated for each day of that class. Attendance will be taken twice each class day and recorded on the sign-in sheet, once at the beginning of the day and again after lunch.

Attendance monitoring is the only means to ensure that students meet the requirements stipulated to receive a Certificate of Completion. 80% attendance is required as a minimum.

This policy is made available to instructors and students through the Institute’s website.

Recordkeeping and Confidentiality

Records of all attendance handled under this policy and their outcomes will be maintained for a period of at least five years in SLX for auditing purposes by senior management or ACCET. The general policy of NTT is not to provide access to customer-student information to third parties, absent the written consent of the customer-student. You can unsubscribe from NTT emails, or all NTT materials, by clicking Unsubscribe or contacting 1-303-649-9980.

Publication

These procedures are to be published for students, instructors and staff on the Institute’s website to ensure that current and prospective students and staff have up to date and accurate information available to them.

NTT Complaint Procedure

Students or clients who feel that they did not receive the value they expected from any NTT training program will have their enrollment fee returned, no strings attached.

If this unconditional money-back guarantee does not satisfy the concerns of the student or client, they can submit a written complaint to the attention of NTT Management, who will address the issue. A written response will be made within ten business days from the receipt of the complaint. The staff and instructors of NTT are committed to assist clients and students as much as possible to resolve any issues that affect successful training.

Notice to Students: ACCET Complaint Procedure

This institution is recognized by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET) as meeting and maintaining certain standards of quality. It is the mutual goal of ACCET and the institution to ensure that quality educational training programs are provided. When issues or problems arise, students should make every attempt to find a fair and reasonable solution through the institution’s internal complaint procedure, which is required of ACCET-accredited institutions and frequently requires the submission of a written complaint. Refer to the institution’s written complaint procedure, which is published in the institution’s catalog or otherwise available from the institution, upon request. Note that ACCET will process complaints that involve ACCET standards and policies and, therefore, are within the scope of the accrediting agency.

If a student has used the institution’s formal student complaint procedure, and the issue has not been resolved, the student has the right and is encouraged to submit a complaint to ACCET in writing via the online form on the ACCET website (https://accet.org/about-us/contact-us). The online form will require the following information:

Name and location of the ACCET institution
A detailed description of the alleged problem(s)
The approximate date(s) that the problem(s) occurred
The names and titles/positions of all persons involved in the problem(s), including faculty, staff, and/or other students
What was previously done to resolve the complaint, along with evidence demonstrating that the institution’s complaint procedure was followed prior to contacting ACCET
The name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address of the complainant. If the complainant specifically requests that anonymity be maintained, ACCET will not reveal his or her name to the institution involved
The status of the complainant with the institution (e.g., current student, former student)

Please include copies of any relevant supporting documentation (e.g., student’s enrollment agreement, syllabus or course outline, correspondence between the student and the institution).

Note: Complainants will receive an acknowledgment of receipt within 15 business days.
