Teaching Staff Reshuffle

Due to certain unavoidable circumstances, organisational issues, teachers personal commitments, teaching staff may change at certain times. However, Forest Rock Qigong strives to provide the best teachers for Teacher Training programs in the best interests of the students and the school. Any decision in this regard by Forest Rock Qigong management is final.

Attendance

Forest Rock Qigong is a registered company conducting professional Qigong Teacher Training courses and issues certificates based on the completion of the necessary hours and competence of the trainees. Hence 100% attendance is required in order to receive certification. Our programs are intensive and demand compulsory attendance for compulsory contact hours of training. This includes all excursions as they are a part of your training hours. In case of continuous absence, except in serious medical conditions, the participant may not receive certification and additional hours of study on a future training will be required.

If the student has any slight sickness and unable to practice in class, we strongly encourage such students to attend the class and observe the teachings. In our experience we have noticed that being present and observing the class can still help the students to assimilate the teachings.

Punctuality

We request all the students to arrive for the classes at least 10 minutes in advance and be settled down before the class begins.

Health and Fitness Issues

Students are expected to take responsibility for themselves and are solely responsible for their own safety, health and general well-being during the training program.

In case of any medical problem or emotional crisis we are there to extend our help and support including arranging medical advice during the training.

It is essential that you come to the training rested and in good health and allow time after the training to integrate the teachings.
