Circa six weeks before the start of your course we will email you the pre-course work. This work is designed to teach you the essential concepts of the Hoffman Process and your responses will form much of the content of the first days of the course. We ask you to complete it comprehensively and with careful attention to each section.
Your availability for your personal Enrolment Call
Please tell us when you are free for a 45 minute phone call with a member of our enrolment team. It would be good to have two or three options. We are available Monday to Friday, between 11:15am and 7:00pm South African Time.
Looking ahead:
Once you have spoken with a member of the enrolment team, we will send you links to our Declaration & Consent Form and your pre-course work. We ask you to complete this comprehensively and with careful attention to each section. Your pre-course work should be returned to the Hoffman Institute at least four weeks before the start of your course, unless otherwise agreed, as this gives time for us to read your work. We will contact you if we have any questions based on what you’ve written. It is a condition of your participation that you notify us before starting the course if there are any changes to the information you have provided. Your place on the Hoffman Process is not guaranteed until all these steps are complete to our satisfaction.
