Acupuncture Course (Entry Level)

A practising health and wellness practitioner, with a minimum of 100 hours of client facing activity. Regulated healthcare professionals and sports therapists, please see our foundation course.

Advancing your treatment option portfolio, this course has been specifically designed for practitioners who have experience working with clients, but have no acupuncture experience.

Our entry level acupuncture course is open to:

• Complementary Therapists
• Reflexologists
• Massage Therapists
• Holistic Therapists
• Bodywork practitioners
• Yoga Teachers

Our team have over 40 years’ experience teaching acupuncture to healthcare professionals globally. Our entry level course combines non-live online learning, with a 2 day face-to-face practical workshop which on successful completion, leaves our delegates confident and safe in using acupuncture for a selection of common ailments*.

Safe clinical application of acupuncture is dovetailed with TCM philosophy on our online platform, which is then reinforced during the live workshop.

Taking a recipe based approach, the practical component of the course covers:

• Stress, anxiety, general wellbeing
• Relaxation, immune-enhancement
• Women's health, including hot flushes, period pain and irregular menstration, brain fog and bloating
• Lethargy

*The effectiveness of acupuncture for these conditions has yet to be proven in rigorous research, but are commonly reported benefits. Please note, this course does not cover needling the torso or for pain - these are covered on our foundation course. We are working on several courses that will be extending the pathway beyond the entry level course, which we hope to release later this year. These will then act as a bridging course to allow eligibility to the Foundation Course

As soon as you book, you’ll be given access to our online entry level acupuncture training platform where you’ll be required to complete a series of modules prior to the face-to-face training component of the course.

We’ve proudly put together the very best in online acupuncture training to guarantee that course delegates feel ready and confident before attending face-to-face training, whilst also providing them with the option to revisit learning in a much more meaningful and engaging format both during and after the course*.

Our entry level courses are fun, practical and engaging, and cover common ailments that you will see in your clinic, daily. We use practical, hands-on skills based training combined with case study role play, so on completion of the course,  you get to put your learning into real situations right away.

*Access to online content available until 1 month after the face-to-face element

In line with common standards of acupuncture and dry needling education, there will be a safety test, theoretical case studies to complete, and short MCQs.

Clients love it, therapists love it, and you will love it! Acupuncture perfectly compliments day-to-day practice, enabling practitioners to offer more to their clients. Can you recall where clients have asked about acupuncture, or have gone elsewhere to receive treatment?

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to help ease a myriad of symptoms, and whilst the most robust evidence for acupuncture effectiveness is within pain, countless people attribute their positive changes to mood and health to acupuncture.*
