What's new in UHT

 

For all Instructor Training, please get in touch with us. You can apply to certify as Associate or Certified Instructors if you have followed enough in-person or on-line classes.

​

​

To ensure high standards and easy access, UHT has adapted instructor training, evaluation and certifying procedures to meet the demands of our new global situation. 

​

Tao Garden Retreat Centre is closed for the foreseeable future, so no more 1-month Retreat intensive training, as in our past Winter Retreat. The Winter Retreat is on-line  January, February & March  2021 with Master Chia, supported by a team of Senior Instructors doing after-class classes.  Master Chia has cancelled his world teaching tours for the next two years, but he will be continuing his teaching on-line.  While the world is living through difficult times, we are focusing on the positives! We continue to practice and share the wonderful taoist practices and you can join our global teaching corps. We have adapted our teaching requirements to maintain high quality but in fact it has never been easier to study! On-line teaching has made this much more accessible for many, as studying from home can be easier, and certainly cheaper than travelling to the classes. So take this opportunity now to join us. If you meet the pre-requisites, it is not necessary to have done the instructor training in October 2020 or January 2021.

Places are limited on our zoom class, so please get in touch with us now if you would like to be there.

​

From now on

 

• Step 1:  Become an Associate UHT Instructor and

• Step 2:  Having taught for a minimum of 6 months, you can go on to take the Certified UHT Instructor training (instead of the one-month Winter Retreat).

 

UHT Associate Instructors who achieved their level pre-Covid (March 2020 when Master Chia had to cancel his world tour seminars) can become UHT Certified Instructors by updating their knowledge with the online Instructor Training in October and then doing a 3-day evaluation class with a UHT Senior 2 (a new grade of instructor who can now evaluate and award Certified Instructor and Associate Instructor status).  However it is not necessary to have attended that course to go to the evaluation class. Associate Instructors who qualified pre-covid would already have done the Micro-Cosmic Orbit test and so will not need to repeat it, and new Associates will not be tested on it until they wish to upgrade to CI. 

​

They will be tested in Micro-Cosmic Orbit, 3 Tan Tien Fires & 6 Direction Chi Kung, Passing Energy.

For all information please go to:

you can download the Case Study form to upgrade from Associate to Certified Instructor and the 'Education Path' is explained.

​

Candidates for AI will be tested on: Inner Smile, Healing Sounds, Simple Chi Kung & some Self Massage.  The testing in our last class with Luc was a moment of joy, sharing the practices, so do not feel intimidated.

​

By popular request, Senior Instructor Level 2 Luc Leyten partnered us for a series of is doon-line evaluation classes.

and he will be teaching and evaluating in his home centre in Belgium. 

Luc speaks Dutch, English and French. 

​

To become an Associate Instructor you need a minimum of 6 months Tao practice and to promote from Associate Instructor to Certified Instructor you need 6 months of Associate class experience. So this July class is open to students wishing to become either Associate or Certified Instructors, who have done the Instructor Retreat with Master Chia or have studied recently with him, or have the pre-requisites.  Contact us if you have questions. 

It is with Senior Level 2 Instructor Luc Leyten's certifying team and is in English and French. (If restrictions are lifted this can take place in Normandy with ZOOM link from the room where it happens, but it will definitely be on Zoom)

​

To Become an Associate Instructor it is important to start sharing the practices; if you have done the pre-requisite hours, get in touch with us if you are not sure if you qualify. UHT has had to change the rules.  However the rules are adapted to also take in the many people who have been following the Tao for some time, but who might not have been aiming at instructor training before the world went zoom.  It is essential to have done some studying recently and for upgrading to Certified Instructor at least 4 days with Master Chia (on-line is fine) But classes with other instructors count, and if you have done some self-study, let us know about that too. There are non-compulsory case studies to become an AI, ask us for an example as they are useful as a focus to your lessons. There are also case studies to upgrade to CI, but NOT compulsory if you were already an AI before 'covid' changed things. It is not necessary to have done the recent on-line instructor training if other conditions apply to you, so please ask us.
