Can enrollment be increased if a course is full?

Enrollment limits for TTCP trainings are set intentionally to support meaningful learning, discussion, and participant–trainer interaction.

Why our class sizes are small

Many TTCP courses, including Foundations of ICWA / MIFPA and Advanced ICWA, cover complex and emotionally significant content. Smaller class sizes allow us to:

  • Create space for thoughtful discussion
  • Support participant questions and reflection
  • Ensure trainers can engage meaningfully with each learner

Our trainers bring both professional expertise and lived experience, and smaller groups help preserve the depth, safety, and relational nature of the training.

Typical enrollment limits
  • Foundations of ICWA / MIFPA: up to 18 participants
  • Advanced ICWA: up to 10 participants

These limits help maintain the quality and integrity of the learning experience.

Can exceptions be made?

In some cases, enrollment may be increased based on individual circumstances. However, this is not guaranteed and is considered carefully to avoid compromising the learning environment.

If you believe an exception may be needed, please contact the TTCP training team to discuss your situation.
