Is it possible to audit the program if I love to learn but don’t need a certificate of completion?

Yes! This program will provide excellent learning for everyone who wishes to immerse themselves in this material. Auditing the program is an option for those who don’t feel the need for a certificate of completion. Program requirements would not apply; however, we encourage all participants to engage fully in the program and complete the requirements to gain the full benefit of the teachings. We particularly encourage all participants to join the live Practical Application, Q&A, and Integration Sessions for connection, community, and integration.

Engaging in and participating in all aspects of this offering will help participants gain the full experience of the programs, inform them on whether to change to the certificate of completion track and ensure that a change to the certificate of completion track will go smoothly — and that catching up on all of the requirements and submissions will not be a heavy lift.

NOTE: the program price is the same, even if auditing.

May my enrollment be shared with family or friends?

No. We understand that it can be helpful to share with friends and family the meaningful insights, reflections, and revelations you experience during the program.

While we encourage you to share with others what you learn in the program, we ask that you do not share any of the program materials or anything from the Homepage or private Facebook Community Group.

We maintain this policy out of respect for our Faculty and to honor the contractual agreement with them. This program has been designed to replicate an in-person training as much as possible; therefore, each enrollment is designated for that participant.

___________________________________________________________________

Here is our full Spousal Sharing Policy:

The Shift Network is happy to offer our 2-for-1 special to spouses or partners living under the same roof for most of our foundational courses with the purchase of one full-price registration. (Spousal participation is offered at the sole discretion of the Shift Network and is subject to availability. Certain exclusions may apply. The Company reserves the right to change or cancel this policy at any time.)

However, we are unable to extend this offer to participants in any of our advanced-level or application contingent programs, such as Certification Programs, Immersion Programs, Coaching or Teacher Trainings, and any courses or programs involving 1:1 faculty coaching and mentoring sessions.
___________________________________________________________________

We appreciate your inquiry about this and your commitment to being in integrity. Thank you for not sharing any program materials!

Students will need to feel comfortable with basic navigation on our website and opening/playing media and other files (logging in, finding class sessions and materials, playing recordings, opening PDF files, etc.), as well as accessing an online Student Portal to submit and track program requirements.
