All our students starting with Acupuncture Course only find the Traditional Chinese Medicine  – TCM theory quite challenging in the time scale of this course.

• When you start the course, you should have insurance and membership  of Acupuncture-Acutherapy Council to do your case studies.

The acupuncture course syllabus is as intensive and rigorous as a degree level acupuncture course but with 50/50 academic and practical from day one.
The main emphasis is on TCM  -Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture throughout, taught from unique reserves of knowledge and understanding that result from years of study in China.
The acupuncture training course covers all essential Chinese medical theory together with all the needling and other practical skills that a professional acupuncturist would require.

You must already hold a Qualification in Anatomy & Physiology level 3. If you do not have an acceptable A & P qualification , we offer a separate Anatomy & Physiology  course.
