Once this is done, you will receive your TAT Trainer certificate, access to all the resource and support materials, and all the benefits that are yours as a certified TAT Trainer.

All certified TAT Trainers must maintain their TAT Professional membership.

Trainers are required to pay a $15 administrative fee for each workshop attendee and to provide TATLife with their contact information. This applies to workshops that are:

• Basics Workshops
• workshops that are advertised on the TATLife website
• workshops that count toward certification or continuing education for TAT certification

Trainers are also required to provide each participant in a Basics Workshop with the new version of You Can Heal Now (currently being updated), which can be purchased at the Trainer’s discounted rate.

* If Tapas is not available to work with you personally, she will recommend a Trainer with whom you can work.
