Overview of the General Application & Registration Process
Step 1: Submit a Level 1 General Application. To participate in a training, individuals must submit a General Application. If you have already submitted one, there is no need to reapply. General Applications do not expire. General Applications are only for trainings organized directly by IFS Institute. If you are interested in trainings organized by our International Partners, please see their listings at International Partners, or contact them directly.
Step 2: Register for a Level 1 Training. After your Level 1 General Application is approved, you will later be invited to a Registration Period where you can select from a variety of available trainings.
For more detailed information about the Level 1 format, content, and admissions criteria, please visit our IFS Level 1 Training Page.
While IFS Institute does not offer formal payment plans, participants may choose to make early payments toward their remaining tuition balance before the scheduled payment due date listed in each training brochure. This provides added flexibility to plan ahead and manage tuition payments over time. Learn more about how to make early payments toward your tuition balance.
