Payment Policies

I understand that by accepting a space in the Open Floor Teacher Training Program I have purchased the Teacher Training program in its entirety. The cost (for those who apply in 2021) will be $9200, if paid one phase at a time, or $8600 if paid at the time of acceptance. For those who apply after December 31, 2021, the cost will be $9750, if paid one phase at a time, or $9000 if paid at the time of acceptance. Scholarship recipients are in a different situation in regards to paying for the training. If I am awarded a similar sized scholarship for future phases, I commit to attending the additional phases.

I understand that I cannot be replaced by someone else once I have been accepted into the training. This acceptance is non-transferable.

I understand that in making this commitment, all payments are completely non-refundable. If an emergency arises and I cannot attend a session, the decision to make up a session will be up to OFI’s discretion. If OFI cancels a program that I have paid for, OFI will reimburse the amount I have paid for that session if rescheduling is not possible.

I understand that the prices for the training do not include travel, food, or lodging and that I am responsible for these arrangements and costs.

Scheduling Policies

I understand that Phase 1 of the full Teacher Training is scheduled for online. Phases 2, 3, and 4 are planned in-person if covid restrictions allow. I understand that OFI must follow venue and government health guidelines.

Graduation

I understand that to complete the training and become an OF graduate, I must complete all prerequisites, immersions, practicums, webinars, mentor sessions, and assignments given during the training, within the time frame set by the faculty.  

Marketing and Promotion

I understand that when I complete the training, my name and location will be listed on the Open Floor International website as a graduate of the Open Floor Teacher Training, unless requested otherwise by me. OFI will link to my website upon my request.

I understand that to be listed as an Open Floor teacher on the OF website, I must have a current membership in an independent professional association that has an ethics policy. For example, the International Movement Teachers Association (https://www.icmta.com), or a recognized professional association for therapists, nurses, or teachers, etc.

Confidentiality

I understand that anything I hear during my training as told by participants is confidential information. I agree not to share any information, images, text, stories, or identifying information on any of my fellow students.

Indemnification

I agree and understand that: 1) I am in good health and proper physical condition to engage in this teacher training program. 2) I voluntarily elect to accept and assume all risks of injury incurred or suffered by me while (a) moving as a member of a session, (b) practicing what was taught, and (c) while on the premises and equipment arranged for my class.

I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless OFI from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, or my use of OFI equipment or facilities. Should anyone be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold OFI harmless for all such fees and costs.

Please sign below to acknowledge that you agree with the statements above. Thank you for joining the Open Floor teacher community!
