Qigong movement Teacher Certification

To become a certified teacher of a Qigong or Tai Chi form (see Qigong classes), follow the simple six steps outlined below. This process is administered by Chi Health Institute (CHI), non-profit organization that certifies the Qi movement arts of the College of Tao. The time it takes to complete each of the steps will, of course, vary depending on your background, experience, and abilities.

Step 1 – Learn the Form
By classes, workshops, private lessons, books & DVDs

Step 2 – Refine the Form
By classes, workshops, private lessons, books & DVDs

Step 3 – Take a CHI-approved Instructor Training Intensive
Offered by a Senior Instructor in the requisite form

Step 4 – Pass the Practical Exam
Offered by a Senior Instructor.  Upon passing the exam, the Senior Instructor sends a confirmation letter to CHI.

Step 5 – Pass the Written Exam (not yet required)
These exams will be administered on line.

Step 6 – Complete the Application & Pay the Fees
Applications can be downloaded from CHI

Steps 1 - 4 are available for most of the Qi movement forms offered by Chi Rivers.  For forms not available locally or for those without access to Senior Instructors, completion of steps 3 & 4 can be made by submitting a DVD of your form for evaluation.
