Certification Requirements

I am happy to offer Certification in Qi Gong Therapy through the Qi Gong Institute of Rochester. The requirements for certification are listed below. I am offering this as an option to those who are interested although any person may take classes at the Institute without committing to the whole program.

Certification Requirements

1. Qi Gong and Chinese Medicine (previously called Qi Gong 1A)
2. Qi Gong for Wellness and Pain Relief (previously called Qi Gong 1B)
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Nutrition
4. Eating for Healing
5. Beginning Qi Gong Healers Class (previously called Qi Gong II)
6. Advanced Qi Gong Healers Class (previously called Qi Gong III)
7. Tai Chi (24 form)/ Qi Gong for Health and Balance
8. Provide 100 sessions (approximately 1 hour/each) of private Qi Gong Therapy on any number of individuals (signatures required) after beginning Advanced Qi Gong Healers Class. (You may charge a fee for these session, they don't have to be free)
9. Written exam ($100)
10. Oral exam ($100)
11. Practical exam ($100)

For those taking the Seminar Programs:

Beginning Qi Gong Healers Seminar ($250) is equivalent to taking both Qi Gong and Chinese Medicine and Beginning Qi Gong Healers class, Advanced Qi Gong Healers Seminar ($350) is equivalent to taking both Qi Gong for Wellness and Pain Relief and Advanced Qi Gong Healers Class, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Nutritional Healing Seminar ($300) is equivalent to taking both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Nutrition and Eating for Healing, and Tai Chi Seminar ($200) is the same as Tai Chi/Qi Gong for Health and Balance . The Tai Chi Seminar and the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Nutritional Healing Seminar will be offered every other summer, alternating with each other. Further classes may be added to the program as the Institute grows and expands. There is no time limit imposed on the certification process. The exams should be taken only when the student feels most ready. To receive certification, each student must successfully meet all the requirements at that time and pass the exams. Repeating a class or an exam may be necessary in some cases at my discretion. For the first two years after receiving certification, each Therapist will be required to take and pass a practical exam, once each year, to maintain certification. The first practical exam must be taken at the Qi Gong Institute, for the remaining two, other arrangements can be made for those students living too far away from the Institute. After the third practical exam, the Therapist Certification will be permanent.
