  Payment

Because space is limited for all of our courses, when you register for a course sponsored by TheCapitol.Net (TCN) you are paying us to hold a space for you at the course for which you register - much like buying an airline or train ticket in advance to ensure you have a seat. Therefore, we deposit your check or charge your credit card upon our acceptance of your registration. 

You are registered once we have accepted your fully paid registration.

TheCapitol.Net accepts these forms of payment for our public courses, publications, Capitol Learning Audio Course CDs, and Capitol Learning Audio Course online downloads *:

  • Preferred

    • Checks

    • Intuit PaymentNetwork (IPN) (a free service) *
      To pay via IPN, please use this link:  https://ipn.intuit.com/pay/TheCapitolNet7037393790

    • EFT/ACH  *

  • Others

    • Government Procurement Cards

    • Major credit cards - VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover

    • Google Checkout (a free service) *

    • PayPal

    • Checkout by Amazon *

    • Cash *

*  These forms of payment are not accepted for online downloads.

Our preferred methods of payment are checks, Intuit PaymentNetwork (IPN) (a free service), and EFT/ACH.

EFT/ACH is not available to individuals or foreign registrants. We do not accept checks or EFT from non-US banks, and all payments must be made in USD ($).

Your credit card statement will show charges from us as "TheCapitolNet" or "TheCapitolNet 2026781600" or "TheCapitolNet 7037393790" or "TheCapitolNetAlexVA 7037393790".

                  


Government Employees

  • To register for our courses, you can use our online registration system or send us a completed registration form via regular mail or fax. (Our print registration form is available on line (here, as a PDF ), or in the back of our print catalog.)
  • Please note that training forms and government purchase orders are not accepted as payment for tuition or registration fees for our public courses. We accept purchase orders only for our custom, on-site training, not for our public courses. We accept ACH/EFT, government checks, government procurement cards, VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover cards, Google Checkout (a free service), PayPal, and Intuit PaymentNetwork (IPN) (a free service), and electronic funds transfer (EFT/ACH).  Money orders and checks should be made payable to TheCapitol.Net.  

    If your agency will not prepay for your training, you have two options:

    1) You can use a personal credit card or check to pay, and we will refund your personal credit card or check when we receive payment from your agency.

    2) You can have your agency give us a credit card number to hold until you have completed the class and we will charge the card the day after the course, but the credit card (including name on card, number, expiration, billing address and zip, and security code) MUST be on file with us at the time you are admitted into the class.

    If you do not make payment or give us a credit card to hold that we will be able to charge the day after the class then you will not be admitted into the class. As a small business, we simply do not have the staff to spend the hours necessary to collect accounts receivable from large government agencies and organizations. Thank you for your understanding and support of our non-partisan small business.
     
  • Please see our registration in CCR for EFT/ACH information. If your agency has a specific form that must be completed by us to authorize EFT/ACH payment, please send that form to our registrar at least 4 weeks before the course date.

If you need a Form W-9, we have a pre-filled version here (1-page PDF)

Your tuition must be paid in full before you attend a course.  Payment is on time if received in our offices before the course begins.

When you purchase a product from TheCapitol.Net, we deposit your check or charge your credit card when the product you ordered is available for shipment. For example, for books not yet published, when you submit a mail or fax order, you will not be charged until we have published the book and it is ready to ship.  When you order online, your credit card is charged immediately when you submit your order, even if the item is not available for shipment.

  Late Registrations and Walk-Ins

We accept registrations less than one week before our courses, including walk-ins the day of registration, if 1) we have room in the course, and 2) we have not cancelled or rescheduled the course. 

If you are registering less than 1 week before a course, please check the course page on our web site to ensure that the course date has not changed.

  Cancellations, Substitutions and Transfers, and Audio Courses

When you buy one of our ebooks or audio courses, you are issued a limited license for the ebook or audio course. By purchasing an ebook or an audio course in any format, including CD or downloaded file, you are agreeing to that license (see below).

See our weather policy for information about weather cancellations for our live courses in Washington, DC.  

Because our faculty must commit to our live courses in Washington, DC, to the exclusion of other activities and because we must make commitments to space providers for food, beverages, and meeting space when we schedule courses, if you transfer or cancel your registration for a course, we charge an administrative fee ** according to the schedule below.

TheCapitol.Net reserves the right to use photos taken during courses for promotional purposes.

The following transfer and cancellation policy, fees and periods are in effect for all registrations for our live courses:

All cancellations, substitutions, and transfers must be submitted prior to the start of the course in writing (letter: PO Box 25706, Alexandria, VA  22313-5706 or fax: 703-739-1195) or via email (registrar -at- TheCapitol.Net).  Once the course has started, there are no refunds or transfers. We mail the course materials to no-shows.

All transfers must be used within one year of the initial course date.  Please note that if you transfer, all transfer credits must be used within 12 months of the initial course date - all transfer credits expire 12 months after the initial course date.

  • If we transfer you to a future course due to a program cancelled by us, you will not be charged an administrative fee** for that transfer.
