The Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dublin, Ireland sends Seasons Greetings to all our Students, Staff, Friends and Colleagues in Ireland and around the world.
Wishing you all a healthy and happy festive season.
We will re-open our office on 3rd January 2022.
Acupuncture TCM Admissions almost closed
As the start date for the next Acupuncture TCM programme is fast approaching, little time is left for any late applications.
If you wish to be considered for the early October 2021 intake, please ring the college number to find out if any places are still available, before submitting your application form by email.
Because of Covid, a substantial part of the first year course will be conducted via Zoom, making it even more accessible for people who do not live near Dublin. Our current students come from different parts of Ireland and beyond. If you would like to find out about the type of person who studies with us to become a highly trained TCM acupuncturist, we have some information available on our website.
We look forward to hearing from serious candidates in the near future.

Acupuncture Training 2020 at the ICTCM – Coronavirus update
Update 2021
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.
Of course, Covid-19 has meant that we have to do some things differently.
For more than 35 years we have run our successful 3 year part time Professional Acupuncture TCM Training face-to-face. So, it has been an interesting challenge to enable our current students to continue uninterrupted with their studies during these difficult times of social distancing. We have introduced much more online and video conferencing learning. And our staff and students have risen to the challenge.
Since the 2020 intake began in early October, the Teaching weekends have all been via Zoom. Regarding later in 2021, much will obviously depend on whether the spread of the Coronavirus is under control and whether it is allowed to meet in groups. When it is safe, the students will meet face-to-face with staff for practical training in the College in Dublin.
Given the success of our current teaching methods, once the pandemic is over, we will introduce more Distanced Learning sessions into our normal teaching schedule. This will mean that students, who normally come into the college for 2 full days every 4 weeks (approximately), will not have to come to Dublin in person so often.
Information about this will be updated at interview for applicants for October 2021.

Acupuncture Training – schedule changes due to Covid-19 (Coronavirus)
The Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine has suspended face-to-face teaching at our College for the foreseeable future, but we will be running all the remaining teaching sessions via video-conferencing and will be providing other online support, as required.
Happy New Year of the Rat
Happy New Year of the Rat
New Year’s greetings from the Irish College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Chinese year starts today, on 25 January 2020, and ends on 11 February 2021, when the Year of the Ox begins.
Each Chinese New Year is characterised by one of 12 animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac – this year, is the Year of the Rat. It is the first animal in the zodiac cycle and is, thus seen to be a great time for new beginnings. New ventures should flourish.
So, if you are thinking about changing career and moving into Chinese Medicine as a trainee practitioner why not consider making the change this year and joining the 3 year part time Professional Acupuncture TCM training programme which begins in October each year?
If you would like us to send you a paper-based prospectus pack please send us your postal address, via our Contact page. Alternatively you can find the recently updated pack online. If you are already a practitioner perhaps this is a good year to set up a new clinic in another town. Or, you might want to consider extending your range of therapeutic options with a post-graduate course.
Whatever your plans for the year ahead we wish all our students, staff, colleagues, practitioners and friends every success and hope you will be blessed with good health and happiness.
Tom Shanahan and Mary Plunkett
