Requirements for Master Trainers

SIPP

The Self-paced Instructor Preparation Package (SIPP) for each program is available for free to all Master Trainers. You must complete the relevant SIPP of the program you are updating. Please start your preparation as soon as possible and allow suitable time to complete the material. Even for experienced practitioners, the more time you can allocate to it, the more you can gain from it.

After completing a SIPP, you will receive a SIPP Certificate of Completion. Please submit your SIPP Certificate at least two weeks prior (no later than 26th December 2026).

SIPP Certificates of Completion are valid for 2 years from issuance. If you had already previously completed the SIPP of the relevant program you are taking, please check to see if your certificate is still valid, i.e., issued 9th January 2025 onwards (2 years before this 2027 Workshop). You can also choose to complete the latest version of SIPP (2026). Either way, please ensure you submit a valid certificate.

TCA Suite

TCA Suite includes updating Tai Chi for Arthritis (wherein you must complete SIPP-TCAFP), Tai Chi for Arthritis 2 (TCA2) and Seated Tai Chi for Arthritis (STCA).

If you are updating TCA Suite, you will also receive complimentary 1-year access to TCA2 and STCA online lessons.The relevant links will be included in your confirmation e-mail. Please prepare by completing the programs prior to the workshop. Note that there are no certificates for completing TCA2 and STCA.

Assignments

Master Trainers are also required to complete assignments for the relevant program/s you are updating. Assignments can be found in MTMP (inside the "MT Update and WS Assignments" folder). The 2022 versions are the latest versions.

*Please submit all SIPP Certificates of Completion and Assignments directly to TCHI at service@tchi.org at least two weeks prior to the training (no later than 26th December 2026).
