FAQs
Do I need prior training in acupuncture to attend?
No prior training in acupuncture is required to attend this course. Students will learn all the
essential facial acupuncture techniques for cosmetic acupuncture, including toning and lifting,
offering you the skills to keep your clients naturally radiant using Oriental wisdom.
Is this course accredited?
Yes. The Yuan TMC facial acupuncture course has been accredited by both BABTAC and the CNHC
(Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council). Students who pass the course will qualify to gain
insurance.
Inviting a volunteer to the workshop
You do not have to invite anyone to attend the workshop. However, it is helpful to get as much
practical training as possible. For this reason, we allow students to invite a friend from 2pm on
Sunday to practice their techniques.
How do I qualify to practice facial acupuncture?
Following the 2 day acupuncture workshop, students must undertake further clinical practice, do
3 case studies and pass an examination.
How can I practice if I don’t have insurance?
Students are permitted to practice on friends and family, but not paying clients.
We also run a practice group one Saturday a month (5pm – 7:30pm) which provides a wonderful
opportunity for students to fine-tune their techniques and network with other practitioners.
Please visit www.yuantmc.co.uk for practice group dates.
I do not live in London and cannot attend the practice groups.
Many students travel from across the UK and Europe to attend one of John’s courses. If you live
outside London, we ask students to practice on family and friends, do the case studies and then
when you are ready, contact us to book a time to do the exam.
How many case studies should I do?
Three case studies comprising 10 sessions per client (friends or family only). We are happy to
provide sample case studies.
How long will it take to qualify?
Each student is different. It will depend on how much practice you do and how quickly you can do
the case studies.
What does the exam involve?
25 questions (including contraindications), practical point location, needling technique, and health
& safety protocols. The final assessment will take place at mutually beneficial time between
student and examiner at the Yuan clinic.
What are the size of the facial acupuncture needles?
Korean needles: 8mm x .18
Serin needles: 15mm x .16
Phoenix: 7mm x .2
