We said that groups receiving training should consist of 10 members, but that is just a guide.
Training for less than 10 people is possible depending on the content and timing of theprogram or if participants are joining existing programs. Please inquire. The Institute has had
a number of examples in the past, where the number of participants was fewer than 10. Even
fewer numbers can be accepted in existing training programs.

As a rule, we limit participation to high school age and above, but younger participants may
be accepted in some cases. Please inquire.
