Live 1-day Workshop: TCHI Recertifications only - Closed to New Instructors - w/Bill & Linda

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

Register early: At least three (3) weeks before the workshop date is recommended.

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).

Prior to the workshop, each participant must either complete the Self-Paced Instructor Preparation Package (SIPP) or the latest TCAFP homework assignment.  Each has updated information on fall prevention, safety, and teaching effectively using the Stepwise method for instructors.  If the participant is updating STCA, additional homework will be sent.

Register first - If you have completed a SIPP in the past, please indicate so in the comments.  You will need your certificate.  Instructions for either purchasing the SIPP or the TCAFP homework will be sent.  You will not have to do both.

3-Year access for SIPP retails for $80 (discount rate is $56), reflected in the costs below. Individuals will be instructed how to purchase the SIPP.  Existing TCA instructors usually complete the SIPP in 15-20 hours. Please allow ample time before the workshop.  

TCAFP homework is a Google Document that collects the homework answers and sends them in an electronic format to the Master Trainer for review.  You can save your progress along the way.

Part 2 Recertifications: Attend the Live Interactive Workshop Training
At the recertification workshop, each participant will further improve their tai chi, update teaching skills, discuss safety in the tai chi classroom, and meet other instructors.  If you have conflicts with this workshop date, don't hesitate to contact the MT for other options.

When your training and optional Zoom Session are complete, you will be updated as a qualified instructor on Dr. Lam's website.  The final step to be listed on the website as a Board Certified Instructor is to pay the bi-annual membership fee of $67 ($99 AUS).  Instructions and a link for this payment will be sent to each participant who completes the workshop.  This will be discussed in more detail at the workshop, and for more info on this, visit http://taichiforhealthinstitute.org//faq-for-becoming-a-board-certified-instructor/
