For a more detailed info sheet outlining the requirements for the Level 1 certification, send an email request to the CHI Registrar at patricia@taostar.com.
If you are interested in becoming a Certified Instructor in one or more of the Ni Family movements, just follow these steps:

Step 4. Pass the practical exam

Levels for Tai Chi, Dao-In, and Eight Treasures
Now it is easier to learn and be certified in Harmony Tai Chi, Dao-In, and Eight Treasures! Each of these longer movement arts have been divided into a number of levels. Harmony Tai Chi now has 6 levels, Dao-In has 3 levels, and Eight Treasures has 2 levels. You can now learn and be certified to teach the individual levels according to your interest.
For example, if you are interested in learning and teaching Harmony Tai Chi Level 1 (18-Step Harmony Tai Chi short form) or Chinese Yoga (Dao-In) Level 1 but not the higher levels, that’s OK. If you are inspired to learn more and be certified in the higher levels, that’s fine as well.
This restructuring makes it easier than ever before to learn these wonderful movement arts in a way that allows for more individual options, flexibility, and opportunity.
