Services Provided by HCC Academy
HCC Academy offers an online learning platform that provides Users access to various learning materials, courses, training resources, and other educational content.

Furthermore, access is allowed through a maximum of 2 devices per User. Attempting to gain access to purchased platform content from more than two devices per User may be regarded by HCC Academy as abuse, potentially resulting in the suspension of the User account. Seminars or other events held live online or as in-person events may be postponed to an alternative date or canceled entirely in the event the speaker is unable to attend due to illness or unforeseen circumstances that render the safe execution of the seminar/event impossible.
