In spite of the current pandemic of Coronavirus, the Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine are happy to report that we are continuing to provide teaching to the students on our Acupuncture and TCM programmes.

It is now too late to apply for the next Acupuncture Training course which starts in early October 2020, as usual.

Of course, Covid-19 has meant that we have to do some things differently.

We are no longer accepting applications, for the 2020 academic year, for the Licentiate in TCM, our professional Acupuncture training programme, which starts in October every year. There is not enough time for us to process any late applications.

A Prospectus and Application form are available here for the 2020 Acupuncture training course. Information is provided about the syllabus, course structure and fees. Application Forms should be printed, completed by hand, scanned and then sent to the college as an email attachment.

This part-time, weekends only programme is normally run at our college in Dublin 3, Ireland. Meetings are held approximately every 4 weeks from early October onwards and the academic year normally finishes in mid July. However, due to restrictions imposed on us all during the Coronavirus pandemic, we have been running all teaching sessions for our current students via video conferencing. This has worked well and the students have now nearly completed their current academic year.

For the 2020 – 2021 academic year we expect to return to face-to-face teaching when it is safe to do so. Our start date in early October will commence the year using Zoom and we will introduce some face to face teaching (especially for the practical elements of the course) when it is permitted.
