Our TBC Course Structure Explained:

Our courses and classes have 2 defining numbers.

The first number defines the level.

100 series - Introductory

200 series - Intermediate

300 series - Advanced

etc.

Then the 01, 02, 03 etc. defines the type of class.101 Intro to Improv (building blocks) |102 Intro to Shortform |103 Intro to Longform

This class series is in our introductory (100) series space, and will be taking you through the very foundational building blocks of this level. You can then use these skills to go on to a full 101 course, or just be awesome in life.
