The Dip.MQG
Course Aim
At the end of the programme graduates will have a thorough knowledge of the deeper underpinning theories of Medical Qigong and will be able to apply advanced Fa Gong Methods (where they use Qi to treat clients) efficiently, effectively and safely to treat clients with serious illnesses.
Course Structure
This is a further one year part-time programme, comprising up to 24 days of MQG training, including theoretical and practical training and assessment of practical and clinical competence in Specialist Medical Qigong. It is only open to those who have successfully completed the Cert.MQG, which is effectively the first year of the Diploma course. (The first year of the Dip.MQG is identical to the Cert.MQG.).
The Diploma is normally run:
- as a series of weekends (Saturday and Sunday) or long weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) which are spread fairly evenly throughout the year, or
- As a series of four intensive blocks of training (of 5 days each) spread across 1 calendar year.
