Trainer & Master Programs
The Wudang Academy is the only European quality institute for professional trainer/master training. Agreed training guidelines must be 100% executed; premature termination is not possible. The Wudang Academy recommends anyone interested in participating in the offer of our events to get a detailed picture of the training.
Training as a trainer generally takes about 1 year. The total education to the master takes usually about 5 years to complete. The training program of our academy has a modular structure, whereby the basic education module is required for participation in any further education.
After completing the basic training, personal consultation for further individual study progress occurs. There are three main modules to choose from: Qi Gong, Tai Ji, Gong Fu, Tai Yi*.
*The Tai Yi focus requires the completion of all the main focuses. Each completed main focus can be completed with a practice exam to obtain the appropriate certification as a trainer in this field. In addition, the passed aptitude test is required for participation in the subsequent specialization modules.
The respective specialization modules, in turn, deepen the special contents and expand the necessary knowledge for individual perfection. In order to gain the trainer’s license, aptitude examinations have to be taken per module. Once all majors and at least 10 specializations with practice exams and proficiency exams have been successfully completed, the master title exam can be taken.
After completion of the basic training, a consultation is necessary; the academy decides which disciplines come into question or which are most important. The training plan will be compiled individually from now on.
Please understand that we would like to have a clear overview of your motivations and goals with our educational offer. The student’s personality has to fit, and the direction has to be clear.
For international students outside of Austria, the educational program is individually planned. We would require personal visits from you every few months. Exceptions must be discussed.
Within a few days, we will write you a response regarding your proposal.
