Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic system of healing which has diagnosed, treated, and
prevented illness for at least 3000 years. Traditional Chinese Medicine is now widely used in
Europe and America and is becoming increasingly popular around the world. This is leading to a
growing need for qualified practitioners.

Traditional Chinese Medicine College of New Zealand is an institute registered and accredited
by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) as a private education provider. We are
committed to providing training of the highest quality in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM).

The focus of TCM is to maintain health and prevent disease, using a wide range of natural
interventions carefully designed to support the balanced functioning of the individual. Rather
than treating symptoms, it is the physiological imbalances underlying the manifestation of
disease that are diagnosed and remedied. Traditional Chinese Medicine College of New
Zealand offers an executive level TCM qualification that reflects a high level of academic and
service excellence. Finding a balance between theory and practice is a strong characteristic of
the programme and is reflected in our faculty members who represent both the academic
and TCM practitioner environments.

The courses provided by TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine) College of New Zealand cover the
philosophy, concepts and a number of therapies taken from the system of Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM), including Acupuncture, Tuina, Qi Gong and Chinese Herbal Medicine and they
offer a holistic approach to health care. The programmes also cover the latest research and
debates in the use of complementary medicine and its value in society.

The lecturers in our school are from China, Korea and Western countries. They have high TCM qualifications and wide experience.
