The second type of certificate is the Form Certificates. This certificate is given when an instructor demonstrates a level of proficiency in one of the many Dayan Qigong forms.  The certificates are given regardless of Instructor Rank, as long as the individual is at least has their Basic Instructor Rank.

For Example, two instructors may have the same rank, but one may have more diversified training in various forms, and thus may have more Form Certificates than the other instructor. Each instructor's rank, as well as which forms they are certified to teach, are listed on the Instructor Listing page.

Dayan Instructor Requirements and Code of Conduct:

1. Instructors in Dayan Arts® must update training yearly by attending a seminar, hosting a seminar, or arranging for training with Richard Meagher or a Senior or Master Instructor in the Dayan Arts® System. Failure to arrange for training within a 12 month period will result in loss of instructor status within the group.

2. Instructors must be actively teaching to continue to be recognized on the Dayan Arts® website. This can be group training, seminars, or private training. Failure to teach within a 1 year period will result in loss of instructor certification.

3. Instructors and Instructor candidates will conduct themselves with proper etiquette and ethics. If an instructor is accused of violation of this order, the board will vote to decide whether to allow the instructor to continue in the group. All instructors found guilty of improper conduct by the board will no longer be recognized further by the Dayan Arts® Organization.

6. Once tests are passed, the Dayan Arts® candidate will have a probationary period of 6 months before they are listed on the website in order to evaluate teaching style, effectiveness, and conduct. The board will vote on completion of this probationary period whether to allow the candidate to be listed on the website and become a full Dayan Arts® Instructor.
