❓What is Shadowing?

Shadowing is when your TFM observes you during live sessions to assess your performance across key criteria. Your TFM will take notes on what they observe and use these observations as the foundation for your 1:1 check-in conversation.

⌚ When Does Shadowing Happen?

Shadowing typically occurs around Week 5 of the course, though timing may vary. Your TFM will observe you during a regular session—no special preparation needed, just do what you normally do!
