Do I need any TCM background to join the Foundation Course?

No prior experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is required to join the Foundation Course at UKTATM. The course is specifically designed for beginners or professionals from other healthcare backgrounds who are new to Chinese herbal medicine.

Whether you're an acupuncturist, a medical doctor, a complementary health practitioner, or simply someone interested in TCM, this course offers a friendly and supportive environment to build your foundational knowledge.

If you do not have a health-related background, you may be required to show evidence of prior study in Western anatomy and physiology before progressing to the full diploma. This requirement ensures students are adequately prepared for advanced clinical training.

If needed, you can complete this study alongside the Foundation Course. You can explore suitable options from accredited providers such as Essential Training.
