Advanced College Diploma - Acupuncture

The Advanced College Diploma - Acupuncture at Loyalist College's Belleville campus is a advanced college diploma that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will study acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine — meridian theory, point location, diagnosis, needling technique, safety and clinical practice — with extensive supervised clinical training. The program prepares graduates to pursue registration and practise as acupuncturists in a growing, integrative area of healthcare. Graduates work in wellness and integrative-health clinics, multidisciplinary practices and self-employment, where interest in complementary therapies continues to grow.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Loyalist College's Belleville campus in eastern Ontario. This program is on Loyalist's official PGWP-aligned programs list (CIP 51.3301), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit — the final decision always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Registered Acupuncturist, Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Wellness Clinic Practitioner, leaving with practical skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond technical training, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

With small classes, supportive instructors and a hands-on approach, international students at Loyalist College get personal attention and a genuinely welcoming place to study.
