Educational training in traditional medicine promotes a comprehensive understanding of the practices and skills associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine. This might include herbal remedies and acupuncture. Students may learn the ancient philosophical and cultural concepts of TCM along with more modern clinical applications.

Courses are individually offered classes that afford higher education opportunities in various areas of study. By taking a series of classes focused in one category, students might pursue a certificate or degree in their field of interest.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
