What can I expect to receive after enrolling on the course?
You can expect to receive a confirmation of booking (receipt) after initial booking. You will then receive a joining email 6 weeks out from the course with specific instructions for your course.
Precourse suitability and quality control checks
It is standard practice for TFCC to request a call with applicants to ensure suitability checks are carried out for the course. This is to ensure both expectations are aligned and also for quality assurance purposes across the intake.
Food and dietary requirements
In line with our performance courses, all food is prepared fresh, wholesome and with a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as a protein, carbohydrate and healthy options at each meal.
TFCC will take all reasonable requests for any food/dietary requirements prior to the course. There is always a wide selection of foods at our venues to accommodate as many individuals as possible. Please note, whilst we can accommodate allergies, intolerances and religious requirements, we are unable to facilitate requests for 'preferences' of food.
Official residential clothing to purchase
This can be purchased via our website link. Please note the clothing is an optional extra and not compulsory. All clothing must be ordered by (March 1st) for Easter courses and (July 1st) for Summer courses when orders are submitted. Orders will then be handed out at registration at course arrival.
Reflections and residential report
We encourage and promote independent learning, reflection and thinking amongst our cohorts. Reflections will be done multiple times daily after each session, and can be done in official course booklets or similar. All attendees are encouraged to have their notebooks available 24/7, and also have any reflections signed/countersigned by the various coaching teams throughout for comment.
As with the immersive performance environment created, there will be no official 'report' at the end of the course, instead we encourage all attendees to use the feedback exercise of having to explain their key takeaways to parents/coaches/guardians as part of the learning process.
Early bird release and waiting lists
The Early bird waiting list will be available for sign up from September 1st with residentials released around 1st November each year. Our courses do tend to sell out, so if your preferred course is full please do request to be placed on our waiting list as occasionally places can become available.
