Level I – Certified Qigong Instructor – 50 Hr Online by Qigong Awareness, LLC is the entry-level certification in the school’s Qigong Instructor Training Program. Graduates earn the Certified Qigong Instructor – QI 50 title and the foundation to teach a one-hour Qigong Exercise class.
This program is for acupuncturists, massage therapists, chiropractors, yoga and martial arts instructors, Reiki practitioners, other wellness professionals, laypeople, and retired professionals who want to add Qigong to their practice or deepen their personal practice and learn to teach.
The 50 hours are split across five components. Two 15-hour online intensives make up the theoretical and practical core: Golden Dragon Medical Qigong Intensive – Alchemizing Stress & Restoring Balance, and Medical Qigong for Back Pain. A 10-hour Daily Qigong Exercise Program teaches the Level I Qigong Routine – Alchemizing Stress & Restoring Balance – as the basic template for building your own classes.
Five hours of documented Qigong instruction take the routine into practice, with students teaching group or private sessions and logging their hours. A further three hours of documented Medical Qigong sessions are given to others, and two hours are received – including participation in Qigong Awareness’s monthly distance healing program with David J. Coon.
The program is led by David J. Coon, a Medical Qigong Master with over thirty years of experience facilitating healing through Medical Qigong. He is the author of Qigong For Beginners: Your Path to Greater Health & Vitality, an accredited CE provider with the NCCAOM, Texas Medical Board, CE Broker, Florida State Board, and California Acupuncture Board, and the founder of Qigong Awareness, LLC.
The format is self-paced online. Students receive access to the training portal, the two pre-recorded 15-hour intensives, private video instruction on how to teach a one-hour Qigong class, a Qigong Awareness Facebook community, and one month of the monthly distance healing program. The recommended completion window is twelve months, which is also the maximum time allotted for Level I.

In the last year since taking this course, I've literally healed my back, and lost 40 pounds! At age 52 I'm healthier now than I have been in years.
