The 100 Hour YTTC is a shorter, foundation-level program for newcomers who want a taste of structured practice. The 200 Hour YTTC is our core beginner-to-intermediate certification and the entry point most students choose. The 300 Hour YTTC builds above 200 Hour with intermediate-to-advanced study, while the 500 Hour YTTC combines the 200 and 300 hour syllabus for a full advanced certification.
