Thank you for registering your interest. Because the Founding Class is limited to 10 people, the next step is a short application so Tatiana can understand where you are in your career and what you want from the two days. Applications are read personally, and the 10 places go to the people who will get the most from training at the chair beside her.
For 20 years I have worked behind the chair, and I have never taught my method in person until now. The Founding Class is the first, and that matters to me. The 10 people in that room will not just learn the work, they will be the ones who help me show the world what this Academy stands for. That is why I am reading every application myself.
I am not looking for the most experienced person. I am looking for someone who cares about the craft, who wants to do extensions properly rather than quickly, and who is ready to put the work into practice. Whether you are starting out or have been fitting for years, what matters is that these two days will genuinely change how you work.
Tell me about yourself in the application below. It takes about ten minutes and I read every word. If you are the right fit, we will be in touch within 48 hours to arrange a short call. If the timing is not right yet, I will tell you honestly and point you to the best place to start.
Tatiana reads every application herself. She does not skim. You will hear back within 48 hours, often sooner.
If your application is strong, we invite you for a 15-minute call. It is a two-way conversation. We get to know you and you get to ask whatever you want about the Apprenticeship.
If we are both happy, we send you a single payment link for the Founding Class on 13 and 14 October. Your place is confirmed when payment is received. There are only 10.
If the Apprenticeship is not the right course for you right now, we tell you honestly and suggest where to start. Foundation or Foundation Pro is the right step for many before the Apprenticeship.
