The College

Created in 1993, this Acupuncture College grew rapidly to become one of the largest providers of acupuncture training in the UK. More than fifteen years on, and our acupuncture courses now have degree status, validated by Kingston University. One of the keys to this success is the popularity of integration with UK acupuncturists whose recommendations provide us with the majority of our students. Read more about integration.

Another reason for our success is the quality of our teaching staff and our commitment to staff development. Ever mindful of ways to improve teaching and learning processes, we have an ongoing teacher development programme and all teachers are engaged in regular clinical practice. Our teachers are also all experienced working acupuncturists.

We occupy two beautiful adjoining grade 2 listed Georgian buildings providing a flexible, spacious and attractive environment for learning, making attendance at the Reading Acupuncture Training College a pleasure. Excellent transport connections make travel from many areas easy.

Above all, our students speak of the enjoyable and satisfying time they have studying at the Acupuncture College. As graduates, many of them keep in touch by returning to take advantage of our programme of continuing professional development. They are inspired and prepared to become excellent practitioners of acupuncture who help many patients to enjoy better health. See details of our CPD programme.
