CIMSPA Professional Standards continue to extend

The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) is pleased to announce the release of two new Professional Standards; ‘Tai Chi for Health and Wellbeing’ and ‘Qigong for Health and Wellbeing’.

Please find the full versions of these standards linked below:

QIGONG FOR HEALTH AND WELLBEING

TAI CHI FOR HEALTH AND WELLBEING

These new Professional Standards are available to CIMSPA education partners who will be able to align their training programmes to the standard(s) and seek CIMSPA endorsement by submitting their education products to CIMSPA for review. When endorsed; they will receive CIMSPA CPD points. These standards will help raise the bar in our sector, ensuring our members are the most qualified and employable in their field.

These Professional Standards have been developed in partnership with industry leaders and health professionals and have been produced by CIMSPA and the Tai Chi & Qigong Union for Great Britain (TCUGB) with the kind permission and guidance from the Sport’s Governing Body, the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts (BCCMA), in recognition that these professional standards are required in the Health and Wellbeing sector.

Each standard defines the scope of the role and the knowledge and skills, required by a practitioner, for professionals who teach, lead, and motivate groups and individuals through intentionally designed Tai Chi and Qigong based exercise classes. They are designed to support those that want to specialise in delivering Tai Chi and Qigong, specifically in a Health and Wellbeing setting.
