What is the difference between the TFC Pro Certification Event and the TFC Guide Certification EventUpdated 6 days ago

Quick answer

If you want to teach and lead TFC-style classes, workshops, and community education, the TFC Guide Certification Event is the right place to start. If you want clinical depth and a pathway into the TFC Pro ecosystem (including directory eligibility via the online Pro Certification), the TFC Pro Certification Event is the best fit.

TFC Guide Certification Event

What it is

A two-day in-person experience for professionals who want to learn TFC’s movement philosophy and how to deliver it clearly and confidently.

You’ll likely choose Guide if you want to…

  • Teach and coach movement in a TFC-aligned way
  • Run community-facing delivery (classes, workshops, events)
  • Start the pathway toward becoming a Certified TFC Guide

TFC Pro Certification Event (previously Pro Seminar)

What it is

A one-day in-person seminar for health professionals who want hands-on learning and a deeper understanding of TFC’s clinical approach to the foot and lower body.

You’ll likely choose Pro if you want to…

  • Go deeper into clinical application and practitioner skill development
  • Get hands-on coaching and practical strategies you can use with clients
  • Accelerate your progress on the Pro pathway

Important note about the Pro Directory

  • The in-person Pro Certification Event does not automatically place you in the directory.
  • Directory eligibility comes from completing the online Pro Certification.

FAQs

Can I do both?

Yes. They serve different goals: Guide is centred on movement education + community delivery, and Pro is centred on clinical application + practitioner development.

Is the Pro Certification Event required?

No - it’s optional. It’s recommended if you want a high-impact, hands-on learning accelerator.
