Privacy & Enrollment Terms
Clear terms for a professional institution.
Effective August 10, 2026. These terms explain how HCRI handles information and administers HCRS Founding Cohort enrollment.
Privacy policy
How information is handled
The Home Care Revenue Institute™ website and programs are operated by The Revenue Forge LLC. The Revenue Forge LLC may collect information voluntarily submitted through inquiries, enrollment, account creation, payments, course participation and credential activity. HCRI uses this information to provide requested services, administer certification, maintain credential records, prevent misuse and communicate relevant program information.
Information sharing
Personal information is not sold. HCRI may share the minimum information needed with service providers that support payments, course delivery, communications, credential verification and website operation.
Agency sponsor reporting
An agency purchasing the 5-Seat Package may receive enrollment, course progress, completion and credential-status reporting for its sponsored learners. Examination questions, responses, scores, attempt history and remediation details remain confidential.
Credential registry
Limited professional information for active credential holders may be displayed in the HCRI verification registry, including the credential holder’s name, active status, state qualifications and applicable Founding Cohort recognition.
Founding Cohort enrollment
Dates, capacity and confirmation
HCRS™ enrollment and related purchases are offered by The Revenue Forge LLC through the Home Care Revenue Institute. Founding Cohort enrollment opens August 10, 2026 and closes August 20, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET, or earlier if the founding allocation is filled. The cohort is limited to 50 purchasing customers. One paid Individual Enrollment or one paid Agency 5-Seat Package counts as one founding purchase.
Founding status is confirmed only after completed payment. If payment is processed after capacity has been reached because of a technical or processing error, HCRI will refund that payment in full. Standard HCRS enrollment may continue after Founding Cohort benefits close.
Access and onboarding
National Core access begins August 24, 2026. Every founding learner may begin the National Core on that date without waiting for an invited non-launch state qualification. Before August 24, enrolled customers receive onboarding instructions, state-path selection, the program roadmap and the live-session calendar. Founding agencies must submit their five-person roster and shared-state selection by August 22, 2026 for all learners to begin together on August 24.
Payment methods and refunds
Enrollment is purchased through a one-time Kajabi checkout operated for HCRI by The Revenue Forge LLC. Card payment is accepted; Klarna or Afterpay may be available to eligible buyers. Any additional refund eligibility will be displayed at checkout before payment and becomes part of the purchase terms. HCRI automatically provides a full refund if a payment is processed after the published capacity is filled because of a technical error, if HCRI misses the seven-calendar-day delivery commitment for an included invited state qualification and the customer requests a refund instead of selecting a launch state, or if HCRI declines a paid $297 additional-state request.
Program terms
What enrollment includes
Individual Enrollment includes one learner, the National Core, one included primary-state qualification and the complete certification path. The Agency 5-Seat Package includes five individual learners, the National Core for each learner and one included shared-state qualification selected by the agency.
State qualifications
Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Virginia, Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania are available when course access opens August 24. For a non-launch state expressly included in HCRI's current Founding Cohort outreach, HCRI will add the included state qualification to the customer's learning account within seven calendar days after receiving the completed state-selection form. The learner may begin the National Core on August 24 without waiting for that state qualification. If HCRI misses the seven-day commitment, the customer may select a launch state or request a full enrollment refund. States outside the seven launch states and HCRI's current Founding Cohort outreach require written availability confirmation before enrollment. HCRS is awarded only after the learner completes and passes both the National Core and one state qualification.
A founding agency may request one additional state for the same five original learners for $297, paid with the request. Accepted additional-state requests are delivered within 14 calendar days. If HCRI cannot accept the request, the $297 payment is refunded in full.
Individual credentials
HCRS is issued only to an individual who completes all education, applied work, examinations and attestation requirements. Purchase, attendance or agency sponsorship does not guarantee certification. Teams may learn together, but certification examinations must be completed individually.
Agency seat protection
If an agency-sponsored participant leaves the purchasing agency before completing HCRS or within 90 days after earning the credential, HCRI provides one replacement enrollment at no additional charge. The protection is limited to one replacement per 5-Seat Package, must be requested within 30 days of the departure and does not apply to failure, inactivity or inability to pass. The departing professional retains any credential already earned.
Founding Edition improvements
Founding Cohort learners receive launch-edition corrections and improvements at no additional cost and will not repeat completed lessons or passed examinations solely because the edition improves. Annual renewal, recertification and targeted updates required by material regulatory change remain governed by HCRI certification policy.
