DIPLOMA IN CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
Quality lecture programmes, supported study and supervised clinical practice with the leading practitioner-researchers in the UK.
The next 3-year course starts in September 2024.
The White Crane Academy is providing a ground-breaking and highly practical course in Chinese herbal medicine. Our lectures are a mixture of face to face and online. The face to face lectures are held at the International College of Oriental Medicine (ICOM), East Grinstead, but it is possible to attend all the lectures online via Zoom.
Interested but don't have a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine? Then take a look at our TCM foundation course.

TRAIN TO PRACTICE
Our 3 year course covers herbs, formulae and supervised clinical practice – in his article How long does it take to grow a herbalist?, Andrew Flower discusses the course and explains how it differs from some of the shorter courses out there.
ACCREDITED COURSE
Our diploma course in Chinese herbal medicine is accredited by the European Herbal & Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association (EHTPA). Notable benefits of qualifying from an accredited course include wider recognition of your qualification and eligibility for membership of the RCHM.


FANTASTIC ONLINE TEACHERS
We have assembled a first class team of highly experienced practitioners, lecturers and experts, many of whom hold PhDs in different aspects of Chinese medicine and other related specialities. This means each teaching session is delivered by a subject matter expert.
