From Tapas Fleming:

Some of you have heard me mention a certification program for TAT and
have been eager for details. I am happy to have the latest information
ready to share with you.

In the past, we have had TAT Practitioners and TAT Teachers as our
designations, with no certification available. Our new designations,
replacing the above, are Certified TAT Professionals and Certified TAT
Trainers.

We are opening up the opportunity for you to be a Certified TAT
Professional if you would like to use TAT in your healing practice, or
a Certified TAT Trainer if you would like to train people in how to
use TAT. You can, of course, obtain both certifications if you would
like, but the Certified Professional designation is a requirement for
applying to become a Certified Trainer.

While anyone can teach TAT or use it in their practice without being
certified by TATLife, the certification will give you:

* The opportunity to post your contact information at the website as a
Certified Professional or Trainer
* Access to a portion of the website that supports Certified
Professionals and Trainers (this is being developed)
* The ability for Certified TAT Trainers to give TAT workshops that
will fulfill part of the requirements for others to receive
certification as Professionals and Trainers, including TATLife
Certificates of Completion for all attendees to your workshops
* Training support materials (these are being developed)
* Discounts to workshops and products including an affiliate program
with special rates for Professionals and Trainers
* Brochure and business card artwork with the TATLife logo for use by
Certified TAT Professionals and Trainers only (these are being developed)
* Materials to keep Professionals and Trainers up-to-date on
information regarding TAT
* The confidence of knowing that you have a thorough understanding of
the essential information for successfully applying TAT with ease
* And more...

Until some time after the first of next year (specific date to be
announced), you will be grandfathered in as a Certified TAT
Professional provided you have met the qualifications listed on the
website.

During the grandfathering period, Professionals and Trainers will be
offered free classes so that everyone has an understanding of basic
approaches to healing with TAT along with a body of personal
experience to support their understanding.

There will be a nominal membership fee to maintain your Professional
or Trainer status once all the supporting documentation is ready and
we have ended the grandfathering in period. That date will be
announced towards the end of this year.

If you would like to be grandfathered in as a Certified TAT
Professional or Certified TAT Trainer and you meet the
_qualifications_(http://www.tatlife.net/TATLife-ProSubmitRequire.htm)
, please complete our Certification Submission form, which can be
accessed from the qualifications page.

We reserve the right to accept a submission or not. The Certification
Submission form will also be used to collect information for the new
website listing of all Certified TAT Professionals and Trainers. This
listing will replace the current one, so if you would like to continue
to be listed, be sure to send us your information. The new listing
will be posted at the website by mid-July.

If you have any questions about certification, please write our
Education Coordinator, Sara Arey, at <sara@...> If you belong
to another online list that has TAT practitioners or teachers on it
who may want to be grandfathered in, please feel free to forward this
newsletter to the list.
