Zoom: TCHI Recertifications only - Closed to New Instructors - w/Bill Pickett

This Virtual workshop is only for 2-year Tai Chi for Health program(s) recertifications.

Recertifications will be conducted in 2 Parts.

All instructors/leaders for the Tai Chi for Health programs must renew their certifications every two years to update their skills and knowledge of the program(s). Dr. Lam and the Tai Chi for Health Institute (TCHI) also recommend everyone complete his new Self-Paced Instructor Preparation Package (SIPP) for their next recertification. The SIPP replaces the paper or Google Docs forms used in the past for homework.  It does have updated information on fall prevention and new Knowledge Units for instructors. 

Part 1 Recertifications - Complete the Self-paced Instructor Preparation Package (SIPP) Program

If your instructor certification is current and you have completed a Stage 1 or SIPP online program within the last two (2) years, you are complete with Part 1.  Please note in the comments when you register and send a copy of your certificate to the MT.  Please continue to practice and be prepared.

If it has been over two (2) years since your last recertification, the SIPP is required as homework.  Register first - Instructions will be sent to acquire the SIPP.  It retails for $80 (my discount rate is $56), reflected in the costs below. Individuals will be instructed to purchase their SIPP copy at my discount ($56).  Agency, Corporate, or University accounts with established agreements will be invoiced for the total.   Completing the Self-paced Instructor Preparation Package (SIPP) is required as homework for your recertification.  Existing TCA instructors usually complete the SIPP in 15-20 hours. Please allow ample time before the workshop.

Part 2 Recertifications: Attend the Zoom Interactive Workshop Training (ZIWT)
Attending the workshop with the MT will further improve your tai chi, practice the "Stepwise Progressive Teaching Method," discuss and ask questions, and meet other instructors.  If you have conflicts with this workshop date, please contact the MT for other ZIWT or correspondence options.
