A practical guide for boutique studios using Momence to organize multi-weekend teacher training series, payment plans, trainee tags, and category hour tracking.

4. Reconcile Check-Ins Against Curriculum Categories Monthly
At the end of each month, cross-reference your Momence check-in roster against your syllabus category map (TTP, AP, YH, PE) so any missed hours can be made up promptly.
1. Organizing Multi-Topic Weekends in Momence
Momence makes it very intuitive for boutique studios to host workshops, series, and on-demand media. When configuring a 200-hour or 300-hour training, the most helpful structural decision is deciding whether to list each weekend day as a single 8-hour event or split morning practice labs and afternoon lecture clinics into separate sessions.
Splitting days when different instructors teach (for example, when a guest anatomy teacher leads Saturday afternoon) gives you an accurate record of each teacher's hours in Momence, which is essential for verifying the 75% Lead Trainer requirement.
