About The London College Of Traditional Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (LCTA)
Added: (Fri Oct 02 2009)
Run as a not-for-profit organisation and based in North London, LCTA is a private college and one of the UK’s leading schools of Oriental Medicine. It offers a range of entry-level and advanced courses in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, tui na and qi gong.
Courses are available for study on a full- or part-time basis, including weekend study options. This flexibility enables many career-changers and parents to pursue their dreams within the confines of their existing daily commitments.
LCTA’s courses focus increasingly on clinical practice as knowledge develops, so that many students in their final year have regular experience of treating patients under supervision within the College’s high street clinic. Clinical practice is backed up by a solid grounding in both Western and Chinese medicine, including detailed Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and the study of anatomy. By ensuring that students are trained to the highest possible standards and enabling ongoing professional development, graduates often become experts in their chosen field.
LCTA’s courses were accredited by their respective professional bodies well in advance of statutory regulation and the College remains at the forefront of Chinese medicine study. Graduates of accredited courses enter into practice with automatic professional body membership, a comprehensive knowledge of their chosen field and the practical knowledge and clinical experience necessary to hit the ground running.
Have you ever thought about training in acupuncture? LCTA runs regular Presentation Days for its range of entry-level and advanced courses in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, tui na and qi gong. Courses begin in March and October each year and Presentation Days, which are free to attend, are an invaluable way of understanding the opportunities and the practicalities of studying Oriental medicine.
The next Presentation Days are being held on 31st October, 28th November and 9th January 2009, from 9.45am until 2pm. To book your free place, or to find out more about courses at LCTA, please call 020 8446 3332, email courses@lcta.com or visit www.lcta.com
