FOR TEACHER CANDIDATES:

Requirements: Go to the accreditation and guidelines tabs. Great care has been taken to specifically outline the expectations of teacher candidates. Both candidates and their teachers need to be familiar with the information contained in the “Accreditation” and “Guidelines” sections.

Signature Referral by two Accredited TCC Instructors is required: When the two instructors with whom you are preparing for accreditation are confident that you are ready to attend in October 2024, they will SIGN your Referral Form (printed from www.taichichih.org or obtained from the Course Host). The ORIGINAL signed form is to be sent to the Course Trainer, Sandy McAlister (24835 Second St., Hayward, CA 94541). A COPY is to be sent to the Course Host, Marie Dotts (652 23rd St. SW, Loveland, CO 80537). This need not be sent with the registration form. It can be sent in later but your reservation in the course is not guaranteed until the Course Host receives it.

Accreditation is not Guaranteed by the receipt of the referral form nor by your attendance at the course. Candidates are kept apprised of their evaluation throughout the course of the week. The accreditation certificate is awarded at the end of the course at the sole discretion of the course Trainer.

Course Registration and Referral Forms: Accreditation week is limited to a maximum of 15 candidates. If you plan to attend, it is wise to send in your deposit and registration form as early as possible. The registration and referral forms are due no later than at least 30 days before the accreditation course. Should you later learn that you will NOT be receiving your two accredited TCC Teacher signatures, as one or both teachers feel you are not yet ready, your registration will be void and your deposit refunded in full.

Course Schedule: The course will begin on Monday at 7 pm and end on Sunday at noon. Plan to arrive between 3 pm and 5:30 pm on Monday. Dinner will be served at 6 pm. Sandy will give a more detailed schedule for the week on Monday evening. There will be morning, afternoon, and some evening sessions. You MUST be able to attend all sessions (morning, afternoon, and evening) to be accredited. Lunch is NOT provided on Friday.

Course Fee: $1,460 (single room) and $1,255 (double room). This includes room, meals, and course tuition of $650. The deposit is $475 with the final balance due September 28, 2024.

If Flying: You may fly into either the Denver International Airport or the Colorado Springs Airport. The Denver International Airport will probably have cheaper flights. Contact the host for transportation information from the airport to the Center.

Partial Scholarships are available. These are granted on a financial need basis. The Scholarship Application Form must be returned at least 30 days before the course. To receive a Scholarship Application form, contact the Course Host.
