This workshop is designed for New Instructors to this program, with Recertifications joining to add to their knowledge. The SIPP is a new part of the required elements to complete and pass.

The Steps to Success are:

1. Register (Register a minimum of 5 weeks prior is preferred; the earlier the better):

• Email TCHI service team if there is any trouble doing so. 
• Materials will be ordered by the participant, and discount codes for nice savings will be available after payment.
•  Linda Scott will send you a link to make the payment.

2. Pre-Workshop: (Required to have working knowledge before the workshop)

• Receive materials and review them (SIPP link,  Teaching Tai Chi Effectively book, TCAFP handbook, TCA DVD) 
  • SIPP
    • Has a certificate of completion to turn in before entering Training with MT
    • May take 20 hours to review if new, and if teaching consistently, it will take less.
  • Teaching Tai Chi Effectively - Chapters 4 & 6

3. Training Workshop: 

• This workshop will be: 
  • Nov. 6,  9am - 4:30 pm; 4:30pm -5:30pm for Seated.

In order to pass, there is a knowledge check and a forms check.  Safety is first in mind, which is why the CDC and other organizations (NCOA, etc.) recommend us, so it is up to the Master Trainer to ensure you have the key pieces to keep the Program Safe and Effective.

In order to complete the process after passing, there is a final fee:

The Board Certification Instructor fee is not paid until after the workshop to TCHI (not Master Trainer) to allow the name to be posted on the website, so the Institute and employers know you are current on certifications

** Additional cost for training: Materials will be purchased by participants.

***After qualified: Board fee to Institute.
