10 advantages of the "Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM" course

By training as a qualified naturopath in Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM, you create the basis for a recognized independent activity in the field of alternative medicine.

Summary of the most important advantages of the courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM:

1. Admission to these training courses does not require any basic training in conventional medicine or prior knowledge
2. However, those who already have paramedical training can have some modules credited and thus shorten their training
3. The training can be built up step by step and leads to the federally recognized diploma as a "Naturopath (HFP)" via module completions
4. Within the field of TCM, there is also the option of specializing in acupuncture and massage or Chinese medicinal therapy
5. The courses are structured differently and can be completed as full-time or part-time studies
6. Since 1.1.2018, preparatory courses for federal higher professional examinations have been financially supported by the federal government. Anyone who attends the TCM course as part of training for the federal diploma in naturopathy can therefore receive up to 50% of the course fees back after passing the higher specialist examination.
7. Qualified TCM naturopaths can bill their services to the health insurance companies via corresponding supplementary insurances
8. If you already have other training and many years of experience as a non-medical practitioner, you can apply for individual module qualifications via equivalence procedures and thus shorten your training
9. The training modules and module completions for obtaining the industry certificate are standardized so that it is possible to change schools
10. There are more and more TCM centers and group practices, so it is also possible to find employment
