Course Design
All TTCs programs are designed in a Modular Learning Mode (MLM). So what does it mean?
It means that you can first enroll in 100 hrs and then keep upgrading to 200/350/500 as you progress. That way you will keep adding the remaining hours of the next course and continue until 500 Hrs TTC.
All TTC are designed as follows:
Example: Once you enroll into 100 hrs TTC and have paid $1500 for it. After completion of 100 hrs, you decide that you would like to upgrade to 200 hrs, then you simply add 100 more hours toward the 200 hrs TTC and you just pay the difference of course fees which in this case will be $1800 only and so on.
What if I have already completed 200 Hrs or 350 Hrs from other yoga school.
Scenario I: Provided that the school is a registered either with Yoga Australia or Yoga Alliance USA and if you have completed 200 hrs, you can enroll directly into 350 hrs TT C and if you have completed 350 hrs, you can enroll directly into 500 Hrs TTC.
Scenario II: Provided that the school is not registered either with Yoga Australia or Yoga Alliance USA and if you have completed the 200 hrs or 350 hrs, you can still enroll into 350/500 hrs with a proper RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) process on an individual basis.
