Your instructor needs to see how you respond to a variety of challenges.
Can you handle difficult students?
Do you work well under pressure?
Are you organised?
Can you articulate well?
Are you capable of conveying complex information in a differentiated fashion?
The instructor needs a good measure of your character before committing to training you.
If you are not suitable, then instructing is not for you.

Long-distance tai chi instructor courses are absurd.
How can anybody learn the necessary teaching qualities from long-distance learning?
It is simply ridiculous.
Only the most desperate and naive individual would seek to undertake such a course.
The qualification is not worth the paper it is written on.
Any insurance company that provides personal liability cover based on such a course is negligent.

A student must reach a certain standard within a structured syllabus and prove their skill.
They demonstrate the discipline and the knowledge necessary to become an instructor.
Martial arts schools around the world ask the student to be of 3rd dan black belt level.
Not all tai chi schools have grades and belts. But they should at least have standards.
