Graduates Visiting LifeWays Trainings
LifeWays has always welcomed students who have finished their training to visit or attend another training group at no tuition cost. To clarify what this means—especially as trainings these days frequently fill—you are invited to visit in accordance with the following guidelines:
- Providing there is enough physical space to accommodate a visitor; if it looks as if a training will fill or not have space the Student Services Coordinator has the right to refuse a LifeWays graduate’s attendance.
- The graduate will attend as a listening visitor, honoring that the current students be given the floor when it is time for questions and discussion.
- Graduates who are attending:
- Must pay $18.50 per day for food costs, unless not consuming the food available at the training.
- A full 28-day training will pay the $750 supply fee.
- A full one-week session will pay $187.50 for supplies (1/4 of the total supply fee of the training.)
- Only the lecture content of the training session will not participate in music, movement or handwork classes unless they are attending for a full session or the full training. These are skill-building classes, and the teachers will need to devote full attention to the new students. Graduates who want to drop in for one or more lecture/classes (only) and do not stay for lunches may do so for no charge, at the discretion of the Student Services Coordinator. Graduates are welcome to attend the graduation.
- A training workshop (such as Storytelling and Puppetry or Home Health Care) will pay $20-35 for supplies, depending on the workshop.
Graduates will contact the Student Services Coordinator of the training they wish to attend. The Student Services Coordinator will communicate with the Administrator to determine the cost, and the graduate will pay LifeWays North America before they arrive. To pay by credit card, the student should contact Kari Cottrell, finances@lifewaysnorthamerica.net. Checks can be made out to LifeWays North America and sent to LifeWays North America, PO Box 4035 Overland Park, KS 66204.
