World Tai Chi Association provides training seminars, a online learning center,
video workshops and distance learning programs to members.

    files for download to get them started in learning the amazing exercise
    program Tai Chi! As a member you can ask questions to other members in
    our member only forum or directly by e-mail to Master Hill.
  4. Distance Learning Program: Many students do not have access to a
    certified instructor in their city or town and want more out of learning Tai
    Chi then just watching a DVD.  With our distance learning program your
    progress will be monitored and certified directly by Master Instructor Peter
    Hill and other senior instructors.

       To get started the first step is to purchase the Membership.  With the purchase
of the Membership you will receive access to the member only content as well as
additional savings on all World Tai Chi products and seminars.  
      After becoming a member, then your next step in Tai Chi training begins with
the Beginning level training which includes the  STAR & BEAM and Level 1 &
Level 2 student certification. Here you will learn the fundamentals of Tai Chi and
Qigong, and upon completion and testing, you will be awarded a Student diploma
from our Board of Certification. These levels include elements of movement
carefully selected to prepare you for your continuing education.

Next, you'll move forward on to Level 3.  Level 3 is a comprehensive study of the
Tai Chi 24-Form, also called the Beijing Short Form.   Level 4 certification is an
independent study of your choice from many possible applications.

For those students interested in becoming instructors, instructor certification
seminars are held twice yearly.  World Tai Chi Association offers a Basic
Instructor Certification for Levels 3 and 4.  A Level 5 Master Instructor
certification allows you to train and certify students and instructors up to Level 4.
