Details
This instructor qualification training will be held over 2 days - Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8, 2026. The hours will be 9.00 am - 1:00 pm each day (Eastern time).
This is a 2-day instructor qualification training. Prior to this workshop, you must complete the Self-paced Instructor Preparation Package for Tai Chi for Life (SIPP-TCL). A link to the SIPP lessons and a discount code will be provided after registration. Forward a copy of your completion certificate to Betty: TaiChi@comcast.net.
Once you register and make payment, you will receive a link to the SIPP course. This comprehensive package contains essential material to be a safe and effective tai chi instructor for the Tai Chi for Life program. Additional webinar videos are included to enhance your tai chi development. You will have access to these lessons for a year.
Additional required training material is the "Teaching Tai Chi Effectively" book, which is available through www.TaiChiProductions.com (a discount code is available), or through Amazon.com. If preferred, these books are available as Glassboxx ebooks from www.TaiChiProductions.com.
During the instructor training workshop, we will review the material from the SIPP lessons, including all of the movements. Participants are expected to be able to perform the sequence of movements from memory, so follow along with Dr Lam on the SIPP lessons and practice each section until you can perform the movements from memory before moving on to the next section.
To prepare, please practice with the included video lessons. Your preparation helps assure that you become certified at the end of the training. I make every effort to ensure that everyone is certified. Those who are not well-prepared may require additional practice and an additional Zoom meeting to meet the certification standard.
Following the training, those meeting the standard for Instructor Qualification will be invited to join the Tai Chi for Health Institute. Membership is required for certification.
