Graduates Testimonials and clinical practices
I did my professional acupuncture training with the Acupuncture Foundation Ireland and my experience has been outstanding. The lecturers are superb, very knowledgeable and skilled. It was the only Acupuncture College in Ireland with expert Chinese lecturers and clinicians. They share their clinical experiences with students and make the learning material understandable.
I learned a lot from them and now have a busy practice, where I am able to treat my patients with confidence and provide an excellent treatment. I would happily recommend the college to anyone wanting to study Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

Changing career is a big step for everybody. I chose to study Chinese Medicine with the Acupuncture Foundation of Ireland, and it was most definitely the right choice. Over my three years of studies I was guided by wonderful teachers and excellent clinicians who shared their extensive knowledge of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and made what could have been difficult concepts easy to understand.
I found the course to be very professional and intensive but the student support is excellent and really helped me in my studies. From the first session I found my confidence growing easily thanks to the detailed introduction and breakdown of Chinese Medicine Theory and the practical, hands on skills sessions; while the online learning further supported my understanding of Chinese Medicine Theory. The fact that I was able to work while studying was a major plus for me.
One of the most exciting things for me was the post graduate clinical experience placement with Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine and affiliated teaching hospitals. This really helped my confidence in my practice and it is something I would definitely recommend. I discovered a love of studying Chinese Medicine and as a result am currently studying for my Masters degree in Chinese Medicine. I would strongly recommend the Acupuncture Foundation for anyone thinking of studying Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

Having studied Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Tuina Massage at the Acupunture Foundation Ireland I can now readily and confidently pursue a career in holistic medicine. The knowledge and experience I gained during my time at the college allows me to treat many different western diseases.
The teachers, who are all practicing clinicians themselves, gave relevant, up to date and practical tuition. I now feel fully equipped to build my practice and have kept in regular contact with class alumni.

I enjoyed the course as the atmosphere at the college was very friendly and I was able to study along my work. The structure of the lectures was very logical and designed at the different levels to help us gradually understand the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This is the only course in Ireland where we were able to develop hands on skills in needling technique from the very beginning to built up our confidence in treating the patients. The post graduate placement to Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine teaching hospitals was amazing experience for me as the medical doctor in terms of seeing the different healthcare system where the Western and Traditional Chinese medicine work together in holistic approach to the patients.

I completed my training with the Acupuncture Foundation of Ireland in July 2006 and would highly recommend the course. During this three year course I feel I gained the knowledge, skills and practical experience to enable me to become a competent practitioner of acupuncture.
After thirty six years professional experience in the field of nursing and midwifery I now enjoy running a busy acupuncture clinic which gives me tremendous job satisfaction. I would not hesitate in recommending this course to anyone considering a future in acupuncture.
