The Competition Bureau warns that businesses can be held responsible for what their employees say to customers.
Under the voluntary Scanner Price Accuracy Code, an untagged item that scans higher than its displayed price is free if it costs less than $10, or $10 off if it costs more.
Ontario's Consumer Protection Act does not give a general right to return or exchange goods, but customers can ask for a refund if a product was misrepresented.

Questions fréquentes

Is this an official retail or customer service certification?

No. When you pass the final assessment you get a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion, which shows you finished this general skills course. It is not an accredited qualification or an employer, industry or government certification.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 35 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.

Do stores in Canada have to accept returns?

Usually not for a change of mind; most return policies are set by the store. The law can give extra rights in some cases. For example, Ontario customers can ask for a refund if a product was misrepresented, and Quebec has legal warranties on goods.

Does this course replace the accessible customer service training my employer must give?

No. In Ontario and Manitoba, employers must train their own staff on accessible customer service. This course is general background, so take your employer's training too.

Is this course for security guards?

No. It is for store staff who serve customers. It teaches you to calm situations and escalate them safely, not to enforce rules or stop shoplifters.

L’attestation est-elle accréditée ou reconnue officiellement ?

Non. C’est une attestation de réussite privée, uniquement pour vos connaissances. Elle n’est reconnue, accréditée ni approuvée par aucun gouvernement, organisme de délivrance des permis, autorité de réglementation ou établissement d’enseignement, et elle ne remplace aucun permis, aucune certification ni aucune formation exigés par la loi.
