Details
This Instructor Certification course is comprised of two parts:
Completing the new Tai Chi for Life Self-Paced Instructor Preparation Package (SIPP) course and reading the Teaching Tai Chi Effectively book PRIOR to the August workshop. You will enjoy this valuable resource to prepare for the workshop, as well as to support your teaching in your first year. You will have access to the materials for 365 days. The SIPP package must be purchased by you separately, well in advance of the August training. It is normally $80 USD, but you will receive a 30% off coupon code after your payment for the workshop is received, significantly reducing the price to about $56.
Attending the live, interactive workshop Friday, August 21,10;00 am – 6:00 pm Eastern Time. During the workshop, we will review the material from the Tai Chi for Life SIPP, including all the movements. To become certified at the end of the training, participants will need to show they are able to perform the set of movements from memory. Your preparation helps assure you become certified at the end of the training. Those who are not well prepared may require additional practice and meeting(s) with the Master Trainer to meet the standard for certification.
A brief “tech check” meeting will be held on August 12, 1:00pm – 1:30pm ET, to be sure you are familiar with using Zoom and can be seen head-to-toe doing the complete TCL set of movements.
Following the training, those meeting the standard for instructor qualification will be invited to join the Tai Chi for Health Institute. Your membership provides the license to teach this program, list your classes on TCHI.org, and many other benefits.
