Audited Mentorship Details
The Audited Standard Mentorship program is for students who enjoy working at their own pace, and are too busy to attend live classes. These students are usually fast learners. The Audited mentorship program does NOT include access to live classes, or peer interaction. This program is only available at the discretion of Tiffanie Mang.
Format: This is a 4 month program. Students may keep pace with the Standard Mentorship or work at their own pace.
Weekly Recorded Lectures/ Bonus lectures/ Sentient Community Discussion.
Audited Tuition : Price Coming Soon
What if I can't make it to live sessions?
Each live session will be recorded and uploaded to the course for you to rewatch. At the end of the four month program, students will enjoy a fifth month free where they can rewatch all of the lectures and critiques from the live classes, plus any additional lectures and demos Tiffanie provides throughout the session.
What if I need to leave the program early?
This program is a commitment of four months. However, we understand that occasionally personal emergencies may prevent an artist from unexpectedly continuing with the program. If you are an artist enrolled in a mentorship program and need to end your enrollment, please email julie@sentientacademy.com
This should, however, be a worst case scenario as accepting one of the twelve seats in this program prevents another artist from participating.
I'm interested in the Advanced program. How do I know if my work is good enough yet?
If you really want to be apart of the advanced program but aren't sure about the quality of your work, we would encourage you to apply regardless. It may be that Tiffanie feels you are a perfect fit for her Standard program. The Standard mentorship program is also an excellent place for artists to strengthen their skills and grow significantly.
I am confused about how much this program costs!
We treat this mentorship like a subscription. The Standard program will require four monthly payments of $350 dollars each. The full price of the program is $1,400.
The Advanced program will require four monthly payments of $400 dollars each. The full price of the program is $1,600.
What if I only want to apply for the audited program?
The audited program is only available at the discretion of Tiffanie. She may not always choose to run the audited program, and she may only open a limited number of seats. When you apply for the mentorship, you will have an opportunity to specify which program you are applying for. We will let you know which enrollment option will be available to you after you apply.
