This workshop is designed for Recerts only who have limited time and are proficient in forms.  Instructor practice on Wed, Oct 15 or 22 @ 1:15 - 1:45 ET should be attended for approval of readiness for this workshop.

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 3 weeks prior, preferred):

• Email Meghan if there is any trouble doing so. 
• Materials will be ordered by the participant, with links (with discount codes for individuals) for nice savings, which will be available after payment.
• Meghan will send an invoice to allow for credit card or check payment to be made.

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 the Workshop portion of the Training with MT
    • It may take 20 hours to review if teaching has been a while, and if teaching consistently, it will take less (closer to 5 hours)
  • Teaching Tai Chi Effectively - Chapters 4 & 6
  • Check on forms to see if ready for this Recert- Oct 15 or Oct 22 from 1:15-1:45 pm ET

3. Training Workshop: (All times are based in ET zone)

• This workshop will be: 
  • Oct 23 @ 9 am - 4:30 pm  
    • If recertifying, Meghan reserves the right to request additional time to demonstrate the necessary changes.

In order to pass, there is a knowledge check and a form 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:

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
