Eligibility Requirements for Level 2 and Level 3 IFS Trainings

Level 2 Training Eligibility

To participate in a Level 2 IFS Training, you must have:

• Completed a Level 1 IFS Training by the time you submit your application, and

• An approved Level 2 General Application (GA) on file.

Once your Level 2 General Application is reviewed and approved, you’ll be added to the applicant pool and become eligible to receive registration invitations for upcoming Level 2 trainings as they become available.

Level 3 Training Eligibility

To participate in a Level 3 IFS Training, you must have:

• Completed a Level 2 IFS Training by the time you submit your application, and

• An approved Level 3 General Application (GA) on file.

Approved applicants are added to the applicant pool and receive invitations to register for Level 3 trainings as they become available.

Recognized IFS Trainings

For the purpose of advancing to Level 2 or Level 3, the following trainings are recognized:

• Trainings completed through the IFS Institute

• Trainings completed through IFS Institute International Partners

• Trainings completed through IFS Institute North American Partners

Level 1 or Level 2 trainings completed through these providers meet the prerequisite requirements to apply for the next level of IFS training.

Trainings offered by other organizations or individuals, even if IFS-informed, do not fulfill the prerequisite requirements for Level 2 or Level 3 trainings. 

If you’re unsure whether your training meets this requirement, please contact us before submitting an application.

General Application periods for Level 2 and Level 3 trainings open at select times throughout the year.
