Q: What's the format of the online lectures? How can I access them?
A: You may Click Here to watch the demo of our online lectures. You will receive a letter in mail and email for the instructions to access the formal lectures before the online session begins. Of course, you will need a computer with high speed internet.
Q:My friend says I will miss the magic of going to the Chi Institute if I take the Online/Onsite Spring Class. Is this true?
A: No, you will still come to Florida for 3 sessions, and the magic will still be there. And you will hear the same dynamics of the class questions and comments, as if you were physically in the class.
Here is what one of our students recently said about doing the online herbal class:
Barbara, I already took all of the herbal classes and passed. I just audited this one as a review. I have to say, the online class was great! It was just like being there, except that I could not raise my hand to ask a question during class! I'm not a computer person, but it was really easy to do. What a great idea.

Q: But what if I still have my own questions that have not been answered?
A: You will have your own tutor via email and your own chat group to help you get answers to your questions.
Q: So I do not lose any in person on experience by attending these two sessions in a virtual classroom?
A: No, because the hands-on experiential portion of the course remains the same as the original format, and will be provided in the other three sessions in Florida.
Q: I heard that Chi students get discounts on supplies and products each time they attend a session. Will this be the same for the Spring online format?
A: Discounts that would apply to the onsite class will apply to all 5 of these sessions as well.
Q: I have a friend and a colleague to whom I recommended the Chi Institute for the basic program, but now since there is a new online format, I am worried that they will not get as much out of the 5 session course. I want them to have the same wonderful learning experience I did.
A: You do not have to worry. As always, we are fair and responsive to our students needs, and have made every effort to present our online classes to reflect the same, high standards in our academic presentations, products and personalized care of our students.
Q: Do I have to pay all the tuition when I register?
A: No, the registration fee of $100 saves your seat in all 4 sessions of the basic program. Tuition is due 30 days before each individual session. For Spring class starting with an online session, you only have to pay $625 thereby being able to take longer to pay off the full amount.
Q: How much does the whole course cost?
A: Tuition for 2010 is $4850, and required course books are under $300, including shipping.
Q: So what do you see as the advantages and disadvantages of the Online/Onsite Spring Class.
A: You will have more time to absorb and review the TCVM theory and case studies. You will have less time away from your practice, and travel expenses. You will pay less money up front, and you will be able to view and review the work and have the option of getting a deeper grasp of the concepts by participating in the chat group.
Q: When will my name appear on your website referral list?
A: After you have complete one Florida session.
Q: What are the disadvantages of attending the Online/Onsite Spring Class?
A: The only possible drawback could be if you are an extremely busy person who has a hard time taking time for yourself, or if you are not at all motivated to study, you may find it difficult to discipline yourself and take time away from your to do list and social agenda to lay the foundation for yourself to come to Session 2. If this is a major problem for you, it would be better if you chose our late summer original 4 session format, starting in August 2010 and graduating in December. |
