REQUIREMENTS: Please refer to the information on the website (
www.taichichih.org) under “TEACHERS” and “ACCREDITATION”. There are important requirements and the Guidelines/Referral Form that all candidates and their teachers will need including when you attended an Intensive who was the Teacher Trainer. Attending an Intensive is now mandatory prior to a Teacher Training as of 1-1-2021.
Signature Referral by Two Active, Accredited TCC Instructors: When the two instructors are confident that you are ready to attend Teacher Accreditation, they will SIGN your referral form (available on the website above or from the course host). The ORIGINAL signed form is to be sent to the Course trainer, Daniel Pienciak at P.O. Box 231; Bradley Beach, NJ 07720. A COPY is to be sent to the Host (April Leffler). This need not be sent with your registration form. It can be sent in later, but your registration in the course is not complete until the Host receives it.
Accreditation is not guaranteed by the referral form nor by your attendance at the course. Your accreditation certificate is awarded at the end of the course at the sole discretion of the Course Trainer. The Teacher Trainer will keep students apprised of their progress and readiness throughout the training.
LENGTH OF THE COURSE: This course will begin Friday afternoon from 3:30PM-5:30PM, November 11th with the Zoom room opening at 3:00 PM.

If you live in another time zone, we strongly encourage you to place a clock next to your computer with EDT on it to keep the time of the course clear. Evenings provide time to work on your movements and presentation. You MUST be able to attend all sessions in order to be accredited. There will be some free time after lunch. *Schedule is subject to change*
This will be an online course using Zoom. You do not need a Zoom account, although it's a good idea so your settings get saved. You will receive an emailed link to click to join the sessions. You can use a computer or tablet with a camera and microphone. It is very important that the Teacher Trainer will be able to see you onscreen from head to toe, which will put you back from the screen. The bigger the screen, the easier it will be for you to see. Having a connection between your device and a large screen TV or monitor is ideal and recommended. A separate camera can also help.
MEALS are up to you. It is recommended that you plan meals ahead and either have them prepared in advance or simple to put together quickly.
