Why Study Acupuncture At LCTA?
We could tell you all the reasons why we think you should study at LCTA but why not hear what our students have to say instead:
Our courses give you a broad and thorough grounding in Chinese medicine
“I chose to study acupuncture at LCTA because the courses cover all the tools I need to treat patients effectively. I also want to learn tui na so I need LCTA’s broad-based approach to TCM. The course is intense but we get a lot of support. It is completely fascinating and I’m really enjoying it.” Jenny, acupuncture student
“I originally learnt Five Element acupuncture… so I studied Chinese Medicine Theory quite intensively at LCTA. It has completely changed the way I use acupuncture and made me look at the treatment principles in much more depth, which has been fascinating.” Pippa, graduate
Our acupuncture courses are designed to fit around your life and your learning style
“I wanted to find a practical course because I learn by doing. I’ve certainly found that here at LCTA” Monica, acupuncture & tui na graduate
“I looked at all the BAAB accredited courses within London and LCTA’s course, which has been specifically tailored for mature students with busy lives, really appealed to me. It was the most convenient course being taught on just two days each week instead of five.” Claire, acupuncture student
Our acupuncture teachers know their stuff and support you all the way
“I love the calm but enthusiastic commitment of the teachers and their belief in the healing abilities of Chinese medicine” Chris, acupuncture student
“My original training in acupuncture was at a university and we were taught in very big groups; I wasn’t sure that the tutors even knew my name. At LCTA, everyone knows your name and it’s so friendly. I feel better here because of the personal support I receive and the positive atmosphere” Marina, herbs student
It just feels right!
“I had a few practical elements to my decision but it was also instinct. I had heard good things about LCTA but mainly it just felt right. There’s a real range of ages and backgrounds in my class but we’re quite balanced and you get a real sense that everyone’s rooting for you” Maggie, acupuncture student
Accreditation and Validation
“I was looking for a course which ticked all the boxes, but which also ‘felt right’. With a BSc, membership of the BAcC, a high clinical component and a thorough grounding in Chinese medicine my boxes were well and truly ticked! With credentials like that ‘feeling right’ is a bonus!” Maon, acupuncture student
