ŞAH KULU TEZHIP APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM:

Apprenticeship is defined as "the method or process of gaining knowledge of a trade, art, or profession from the instruction of a master." In this case, Tezhip is the trade, art, profession, and devotional act, and the master is Fatma Hoca. The students in each group travel together on this path, supporting and learning from one another, creating community and camaraderie, and moving from semester to semester to master the skills according to their Hoca's instruction. Apprenticeships will continue until "permission to teach" in the form of a certificate is given by the master to the apprentice.
