I have just completed the Breeze Advanced Acupuncture course, which was a hybrid course. The online information was clearly presented by Carl and a helpful precursor to the weekend in-person course, which was led by Lynn Pearce. It is clear Lynn is an expert in her field. She doesn't just know her stuff, she has the skill to present such complex information in a clear way. The handouts were excellent and a great resource to refer back to when in clinic. The handout and the online information has been very useful in increasing my understanding of the 5 elements. I thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who wants to have a greater depth to their knowledge and wish to fine tune their needling skills and point selection. Thanks for a great course.

The course is very well structured and thought out. The online learning is clear, with an excellent and structured system in place for finding different topics and progressing through self study. I spent longer than the suggested time studying the online material to make sure I had it remembered, so I will schedule in extra time for the next course. In person teaching was also excellent and Carl is clearly very knowledgeable both on the topic overall and teaching. I would say that the learning experience here was better prepared and executed than large parts of my uni degree. The administration team is also excellent and very efficient and helpful. Can't recommend enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Acupuncture Foundation Course. It was a good mix of online and in person content. Carl made the course fun and relaxed while teaching us so well and giving us confidence. The pain physiology teaching was particularly fantastic. It was also great to get a taste of the history and principles of TCM but also for it to be related to modern medicine principles. I am so excited to start practicing my new skillset. Thank you Breeze Academy!

Great learning app - especially the videos - These prepared me for the practical learning well, which helped build my confidence steadily with needle placement and understanding the theory to help understand how Acupuncture can be used in the treatment of patients. Really enjoyed course - Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

All of our face-to-face courses come with a wealth of online learning, which will prepare you for the contact event. This is essential reading, and the time it takes to complete can vary from course to course. Head to our training platform on Thinkific, and begin your learning journey when it suits you best!

We will be in touch 2 weeks prior to the course start date with details on directions, transport, and food options. Please note that, unless otherwise stated, all of our courses do not provide lunch, but will provide refreshments for break periods.

There are a number of measures we take to assess the quality of teaching throughout all of our courses, primarily through student feedback and external moderators. Our student feedback is gained via in-course surveys, website testimonials, and social media platforms. All comments are thoroughly reviewed and when appropriate, acted upon.

We feel strongly that in order to maintain our position as a leading training provider, our tutors are aware of what works well and what could be built upon. At the annual review panel, we request that tutors submit a reflective piece outlining how they have acted upon feedback and what they intend to do in the following year to ensure their courses are of the highest quality. As a result, our tutors consistently have positive feedback and are asked to provide further training on a regular basis.

Before any course is advertised, the tutor must submit a lesson plan containing the aims, objectives, and course content. These are reviewed internally for consistency, applicability, and their pedagogical qualities, and are then sent out for external review.

In line with revalidation approaches adopted for healthcare degrees, all courses that are deemed appropriate will be subject to further quality assurance at 5-year intervals. All tutors are expected to update their courses in light of any related literature published in the interim period to ensure all courses remain evidence-based and within context.

One reason that Breeze Academy stands out amongst health and wellness education providers is our commitment to making education accessible to as many people as possible.

Towards this, we can tailor a CPD training event to suit the needs of you and your associates. Please contact us on [email protected] to discuss running your own, bespoke course.

We are proud to offer help and advice via email to anyone who has attended one of our courses. We also offer consultancy on service provision, which we can tailor to suit your team's specific requirements.
