1. Our faculty members are more than qualified. The majority of our faculty members have a Master’s Degree or Ph.D. in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and have at least 15 years of working and teaching experience in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada and China.
2. Our programs were developed based on our teaching experiences of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Australia, Canada, the USA, and China. These programs have been running successfully for over twenty years in Northern America and about fifty years in China.
3. Classes are small.
4. Student loans are available.
5. We are pleased to offer our own, uniquely designed Study Guides for almost every subject. This helps our students learn Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture easily.
6. Our student clinic is very busy, therefore, there is a lot of “hands-on practice” of acupuncture available to our students.
7. Studying is full time, from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday. You will get the training you pay for.
8. We are committed to offering the highest education and training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in Canada.
9. We are located in a central area of Calgary. This enables easier transportation to and from the college, including Public Transportation.

Currently, only  Acupuncture is regulated and available for licensure in Alberta. BC also recognizes and provides licensure for a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

From March 2022, we started to offer a combination of in person and online learning for the theory courses due to the situation of COVID in Alberta. Those policies will be updated following the announcement of the professional authorities and the government of Alberta.
