Step 1: (Decide whether to accept, reject or schedule an interview with the student and a senior teacher)

About flags

Red flags

People with possible victim identifications or issues with authority

• Up to 1 red flag the student is approved.
• From 1.5 to 2.5 red flags the student should have an interview with a senior teacher.
• 3 or more red flags, the case should be forwarded to Ishi for consideration before going to interview, as the person might be rejected without the right to an interview.
  
  In the case that the case is forwarded to Ishi first. Always send an email to the student informing them that his case has been forwarded to a senior teacher for further consdieration and its on a stage of further processing.

Yellow flags (teachers)

People that might not fully understand where he/she is going

• With 3 or more yellow flags the students should have an interview with a senior teacher
• Up to 2 yellow flags and less than 1 red flag the student is accepted.

Yellow flags (bookings)

These are issues that need to be solved by a member of the bookings team.

• In case of physical injures a student should send us a medical certificate saying he is fit to attend the course. The ability to jump is no mandatory on any course but desired.
  
• Issue with meditation:
  
• In case of antidepresents a student should send us a medical certificate saying he is fit to attend the course.
  
• In case of mental health issues such as bi-polar disorder, the student should be rejected.
  
• In case of strong drugs or alcohol addiction, the student should be clean for at last 6 months.
  
• In case of episods of trauma, the eppisode should have appened at least 6 months ago.

Blue flag (mandatory internship)

This flag is only used as valuable information to the teacher taking an interview with a student to decide if the student is a good fit for the course.

Step 2: Refund the application if rejected or register the information of the student in the spreadsheet of the course he booked as approved.

All spreashsheets are stored in the bookings folder inside a subfolder folder named “XXX Students list” (where XXX is the name of the course).

Step 3: (ONLY FOR THAILAND BRANCH)

You must allocate the student in the bungalow planner according to the accomodation he/she booked and block this accommodation type for the duration of the course in our website using this: link to the website and the password: KasanaTania777.

This last procedure “informs” our website that this accommodation wont be available, so to avoid overbookings.
