Meridian points and their functions explore key points on the body, their traditional purposes, and practical awareness of point location and stimulation.

Common ailments and Acupressure solutions examine non-medical approaches to supporting comfort related to headaches, stress, anxiety, and sleep quality. Pain management modules introduce awareness of how Acupressure may be incorporated into general wellbeing routines, supported by case studies and demonstrations.

Digestive health and weight management explore holistic approaches to digestion support and appetite awareness, without addressing medical treatment.

An assessment and final exam evaluate learner understanding of Acupressure principles, techniques, and wellbeing awareness.

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.
