ARRANGEMENTS FOR OUR COURSES IN 2011

We are in the process of restructuring our professional training courses for 2011. This is an outline of how our courses will look:

A. Core Underpinning Knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including basic concepts and diagnostic methods.

As at present this will be common to all our courses.

Next year this section of the course will be delivered as Home Study with Units of Self Assessment. Support will be available on line and through emails.

Summative assessment will take place in Stage One and Stage Two of the blocks of contact teaching.

Those participants who have already become competent in these Core Studies, either through one of our own courses or through another TCM Centre, are exempted from this part of the course.

B. Chinese Medicine in Practice (Tuina Therapeutic Massage or Medical Qigong)

Instead of taking place on one weekend per month as at present, this largely practical part of our courses will be delivered in two Five-day blocks of contact teaching. As outlined above a summative assessment (including TCM) will be made during each block of contact teaching.

C. Supervision

At the end of each of the two stages participants will be required to submit for assessment case notes relating to a required number of treatments that they have carried out.

The content of our courses, which has been used successfully for a number of years, will continue to form the basis or our teaching under this new structure. The content of our courses can be seen on the relevant websites (which will soon be developed to show the new structure) www.tuina-courses.co.uk and www.qigongcourses.com

Best wishes

Tony Horrocks and May Chen

Tui-Na is a highly effective form of therapeutic massage. It is widely used in hospitals and clinics in China as an invigorating and relaxing way of restoring and maintaining good health.

It is now becoming a popular form of massage in the West

Tuina Therapeutic Massage does all the things that Western massage does - but in addition it works on the energetic system of the body through channels and points in the same way as other forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine such as acupuncture

Our courses in Tuina Massage are accredited by the CMA with insurance available through Towergate. We are experienced practitioners of Tuina as well as teachers.

Fee and course reductions for those with existing TCM Qualifications
