When can I apply for Level 2 or Level 3 IFS Trainings?

General Applications for Level 2 and Level 3 IFS Trainings are not continuously open.

Application periods open at select times throughout the year, based on training schedules and capacity.

If you do not currently see an open General Application for Level 2 or Level 3, it means an application period is not open at this time.

What you need before applying

Before submitting a General Application, you must have completed the required prior training level:

Level 2 applicants must have completed a Level 1 IFS Training
Level 3 applicants must have completed a Level 2 IFS Training

Only trainings completed through the IFS Institute or its authorized partners meet these prerequisites.

What happens once I apply?

If your Level 2 or Level 3 General Application is reviewed and approved:

You’ll be added to the applicant pool for that training level
You’ll become eligible to receive registration invitations for upcoming trainings as they become available
Registration invitations are sent over time, based on availability

Approval does not guarantee immediate registration.

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

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

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

How will I know when the next application period opens?

If a General Application period is not currently open, you can sign up for training notifications to be alerted when the next application window becomes available.
