Acupressure Course
Our online Acupressure Course will teach you how and where to apply pressure to the body to enhance the flow of energy (variously referred to as ‘Ki’, ‘Chi’ or ‘Prana’) in the 12 main bi-lateral meridians, according to the principles of Oriental medicine. This therapy is widely used in China where more emphasis is given to a person’s responsibility for their own health than it is in the Western world.
Acupressure is believed to be the ‘Mother of Acupuncture’, in that it predates the use of needles to stimulate the body’s energy flow. It has the same principles as Acupuncture, but the pressure is applied directly to the Acupoints of the body mainly by using the hands, fingers, thumbs or knuckles. Stimulation of the body’s meridian system by touch is perhaps one of the oldest and most effective healing systems.

Professional Qualification Acupressure Course of 12 Lessons Presented in 4 Modules
Our Acupressure course is conducted by distance learning. Home study is the modern, flexible way to learn holistic medicine. No attendance is necessary.
About Our Acupressure Course
The course material also includes a link to an ‘Instructional ‘Video’, which demonstrates all of the Practical Techniques for this subject, presented by a Professional Therapist.
Our course is open to both ‘practicing therapists’ and individuals who have an interest to learn this skill. This in-depth course will lead you step-by-step through the treatment sequence and teach you everything you need to know in order to become a Professional in your field.
No previous knowledge is required to study this subject; we train our students from beginner to practitioner/therapist level.
This is a Requirement for All “Hands on” Therapy Courses
Case Studies:
We require a minimum of three ‘case-studies’ from three different volunteers, nine treatments in total. These will need to be written up and submitted to us prior to your final examination (theory).
We provide everyone with full guidelines, on how to conduct this Practical Work. If you need additional assistance or advice, our ‘friendly team’ are always at your disposal.
This really is the ‘fun part’ of your course, working with real people, assessing your own results, and obtaining feedback from your volunteers. Enjoy this vital part of your training, which will pay dividends later, in your career as a Professional Therapist.
Important:
Please arrange your own team of volunteers to coincide with your enrolment for any ‘hands-on’ therapy subject. We ask you to begin working with these people as soon as you commence your studies.
You will need to put into practise every procedure that you are covering in your lessons. We advise you to select individuals who are close to you, whom you feel comfortable with, and who have no serious ailments. You will need detailed feedback from these volunteers to build your confidence, and perfect your techniques. Should you experience any problems during this initial period, this is the time to ask us for assistance. It is our role as ‘professional trainers’, to provide support on an on-going basis.
This is your opportunity to gain valuable ‘hands on’ experience, throughout your course, and, prior to working with your ‘paying clients’, once you have graduated.
Note:
Students who do not wish to submit a case study programme, for reasons of their own (i.e. disability, illness, etc) will be awarded our accredited diploma, with the additional wording (Theory) added after the course title e.g. SNHS Dip. Acupressure (Theory).
Hands-On Therapy Courses:
Acupressure; Aromatherapy; Holistic Massage Therapy; Hopi Ear Candling; Hot Stone Therapy; Indian Face Massage; Indian Head Massage; Kinesiology; Reflexology, Shiatsu and Aura & Chakra Energy Healing.
There are ‘Question Papers’ at the end of each lesson which typically contains 10 questions. The answers to the questions will be found within the lesson or in lessons previously studied.
There is also a ‘Final Exam’ at the end of the course which is classed as an open book exam so you can consult your course material to help if necessary.
On the successful completion of this course, students will receive a ‘Practitioner/Therapist level, Insurable Qualification and Diploma’.
You may begin your work as a therapist, and make a charge to your clients, providing you have Public Liability Insurance, (if appropriate in your location).

I have thoroughly enjoyed your Acupressure course and, as with all the subjects I am studying with SNHS, I am impressed by the exercises you provide with each module. They are so well structured in the way that they cross-reference various precepts to maximise comprehension, and retention of vital information. It is not easy to gauge the progress of students at a distance, but you have found an effective way of achieving this necessary goal.

Which distance learning study method should you choose?
Self Study: The self-study option is a faster method of study for those who feel they may not need that support. The Self Study team review each part of your course, rather than lesson by lesson, and the team will assess your work and inform you if you are making serious errors. You will not receive feedback on your work, and you may be asked to repeat an answer paper which does not reach our threshold of acceptance.
Tutored: The tutor option is for students who would like feedback on their work and who may require more support in their studies. Our dedicated Tutor Team will review your work lesson by lesson and give you feedback, where required. You can ask questions, and the team can guide you to success by helping you navigate the course material.
There are no time restrictions, you simply study and return work when you wish. Our courses do not expire, so take your time and enjoy the gentle learning curve. You simply work through the assignments at your own pace, free from the restrictions and pressures of working to deadlines.
On average students take approximately 200 hours, 3 – 4 months, to complete a non advanced course. Around 300 hours 5 – 6 months for an advanced course plus time for practical work with your volunteers for any hands-on therapy.
This is simply a guide; everyone studies at their own pace.
There are question papers at the end of each lesson, and a final question paper at the end of each of the courses which are all conducted via email. No attendance is required.
The Final Exam is classed as an open book exam so you can consult your course material to help if necessary.
An insurable Practitioner/Therapist Level Qualification is awarded on successful completion of this course.
