Describe your image


Maybe you've never thought about becoming an acupuncturist before ...
Perhaps you're looking for a career that feels more meaningful. Perhaps you're ready for a change, curious about health and how the body works, or simply sensing that you're ready to do something different.
​
You don't need to have a clear plan yet. Our students come from many different backgrounds, with different careers, experiences and responsibilities. They don't all arrive knowing exactly where this journey might lead, but they leave us with focus, knowledge and direction. And a business - set up and ready to go.
​
So could you really do this? We think you might surprise yourself.

What if your new career felt genuinely worthwhile?
Imagine a job where you have time to listen, where you can get to know people as individuals, and where what you notice, feel and have learned can make a real difference to someone's health, wellbeing, and quality of life.
​
Imagine building a career around skills that will excite you, and will continue to develop and grow throughout your working life. A career that gives you the freedom to shape your practice around the life you want to lead. That's what becoming an acupuncturist can offer.
​
At TAA we don't simply teach you how to do this properly - we support you become confident, thoughtful, skilled practitioners, and most importantly, we enable you to make a happy and fulfilling living doing this.

What do our students and graduates say?
We send out anonymous Student Satisfaction surveys twice a year, every year, and discuss all of the scores and comments at annual Student Liaison meetings. This makes our course highly responsive and has allowed us to develop in a truly student and graduate centric way, which is so important to us.
And the students can say anything, they score us on everything - our average score is a healthy, happy 4.6 out of 5 which rises to 4.9 or 5 out of 5 for our newest graduates.
'This is a remarkable course. It offers the chance not only to become a fine acupuncturist, but also to examine oneself and develop as an individual. This Licentiate is not something to be taken lightly - but with commitment, hard work, organisation and love of the subject, participants can expect to have their lives changed, their minds broadened and to walk away holding the torch of possibility.
Thank you for everything you have given me.'

And another from the same group:
'So much care has gone into creating this course and everyone involved in teaching is caring, supportive and knowledgeable. Even when treating alone during Y3B I have known that there is always immediate support available.
​
Thank you to everyone who makes this course what it is.'
