Time Flexibility
We understand that life doesn’t always align perfectly with a fixed schedule. You are balancing work, family, and other commitments alongside your training. At TSY we appreciate that you are carving out this time for you and we want your training to enhance your life, not add additional stressors.

To that end, our program is flexible and accommodating. Most of our classes are held simultaneously in-studio and online so you will be able to stay connected even when you cannot come in person.

If you need to miss a class, do not worry! You may attend class in another session. This is true whether you miss one hour or a whole weekend. We do not cap the amount of time you may miss or the amount of time you have to complete your training. If it takes you 6 months or two years, we trust you will complete your training when you are ready and able to do so.*

*Note: You will ALWAYS be allowed to make up your hours, however in person attendance is space availability contingent. If you miss so many classes that you need to enroll as a full time student in another cohort, your ability to join that class as a full time student will depend on space availability.

Payment Plans
We also offer payment plan options to help make the program as accessible as possible. Our goal is to meet students where they are and support them in completing their training in a sustainable way.
