There are many reasons for you to choose the Acupuncture course at ICOM. Here are just some of them:

▫You will study at the UK’s longest established Acupuncture training college. We have trained hundreds of first class Acupuncturists, including prominent figures such as Giovanni Maciocia, Sandra Hill, Roisin Golding, Peter Firebrace, Charles Buck, Joan Duveen, Barbara Kirschbaum, Royston Low, Mazin Al-Khafaji and Peter Deadman.

▫Our curriculum is now delivered 50% online. Students will attend the college in East Grinstead every other week providing even greater flexibility for those who are juggling commitments and those who live further away.

▫We keep our class sizes small to maximise contact time and student support, particularly for clinical modules.

▫You’ll have more fully supervised one-to-one patient consultations than at any other institution.

▫You’ll also learn all of the acupuncture points and channels, as well as their connections and how to make the best use of them in clinic, providing you with the most solid foundation for you to begin your future career.

▫We are internationally renowned for introducing our students to the study of Stems and Branches theory which is the foundation of traditional Chinese medical thinking and is unique to ICOM.
