This workshop is for TCHI Master Trainers updating their certification in Tai Chi for Health programs.
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/s 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.
TCA Suite
TCA Suite Update also includes 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 revisiting the programs prior to the workshop.
SIPP Certificate of Completion
After completing a SIPP, you will receive a SIPP Certificate of Completion. Please submit your SIPP Certificate/s at least two weeks before the workshop.
SIPP Certificates of Completion are valid for 2 years from issuance.
If you have previously completed the SIPP of the relevant program you are taking, please check to see if your certificate is still valid, i.e., issued June 4, 2025 onwards (2 years before this 2027 Workshop).
We recommend that Master Trainers complete the latest version of SIPP (2026-2027) and receive an updated certificate of completion. Either way, please ensure you submit a valid certificate.
Note that no certificates are issued for completing TCA2 and STCA online lessons.
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 of all programs" folder). A link will be provided in your confirmation e-mail after registration.
Submissions
Please submit your valid SIPP Certificate/s of Completion and all Assignments directly to TCHI at service@taichiforhealthinstitute.org at least two weeks before the workshop: No later than May 21, 2027.
