Overview

Medical Acupunture Diploma

Acupuncture is an important branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Like all other partners in this astonishingly effective medical system, it has its roots in Taoism, which was the predominant belief system in China at the time acupuncture began - many thousands of years ago.

Acupuncture works on a deep level to help patients recover their physical and mental harmony. Not only can it restore the health of mind and body, as increasingly recognised by the Western world, but it is also a powerful form of preventive medical therapy. Whether acupuncture treatment is used for restoring health or preventing the development or recurrence of a condition, it helps patients to balance their mental and physical harmony.

Description

Acupuncture works on a deep level to help patients recover their physical and mental harmony. Not only can it restore the health of mind and body, as increasingly recognised by the Western world, but it is also a powerful form of preventive medical therapy. Whether acupuncture treatment is used for restoring health or preventing the development or recurrence of a condition, it helps patients to balance their mental and physical harmony.

Traditional Chinese acupuncturists spend years respectfully training with revered Masters, learning to diagnose and treat patients appropriately according to ancient principles. Treatments and special acupuncture and acupressure points are passed down from one generation of TCM acupuncturists to another in a medical family, to form a vast body of knowledge. Throughout this powerful and comprehensive course you will learn the skills, techniques and the background to know and understand more about this formerly-mysterious healing art.

Acupuncture has an extraordinary ability to change people’s lives. In particular, it will change yours.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
