This 1 day Update/Recert only has 2 steps:

• Self-paced online lessons with discussions and instruction by Dr Lam
• Codes are sent by Meghan for materials (SIPP & books) to be purchased after payment is received
  • If with an agency, it will be included on the invoice
  • If an individual, you will have a separate discount code with the link

Materials to be purchased:  

First: link to TCA /FP SIPP (formerly Stage 1) + discount code

Second: from Tai Chi Productions: Bundle: Tai Chi for Arthritis handbook, Teaching Effectively book, (TCA DVD optional) if unabe to locate from prior training

This workshop is designed for Recerts only who have limited time and are proficient in forms.  Instructor practice on Wed 11 or 18 @ 1:15- 1:45 ET should be attended for approval of readiness for this workshop if I have not seen your space.

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) 
  • 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- Feb 11 or Feb 18 from 1:15-1:45 pm ET

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

• This workshop will be: 
  • Feb 21 @ 10 am - 4:30 pm  
    • When 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 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
