Course FAQ's

Can I really learn Hijama in one day?

Yes Hijama is simple, it has been practised by many cultures through the centuries. So we are not teaching something very complicated. However there are certain health, safety and medical standards which need to be observed by law and practitioners must be aware of.

What about the practical?

You will be performing Hijama on fellow course attendees and will make sure you are confident in practising before you leave.

Can I practise straight away?

Yes upon completion of the course you should be confident enough to practise straight away. And we continue to support you afterwards.

How should I prepare for the course?

The course starts at 9.30am until 6pm. Please get a good nights rest as the day is full on with theory and practical where you will be needing both your brain and body! If you are ok to have Hijama performed on you - please wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to your back.
All equipment is provided.

I am coming from a distance, where can I stay?

Our course usually takes place at the Ibis Hotel, London Luton Airport. Many of our attendees travel from different countries and long distances within the UK to attend our course. Luton has excellent transport links and there are many hotels available to stay in.

Do I need to be registered with any other organisation?

No.
Many new alternative therapy practitioners are often confused by the number of health organisations that are seeking their membership. However these organisations are entirely voluntary and it is not a legal requirement to be registered with any of them.
Below is a list of some well known voluntary health organisations in the UK:
GRCCT - The General Regulatory Council for Complementary Therapies (http://www.grcct.org/)
ICNM - The Institute for Complementary and Natural Medicine (http://icnm.org.uk/)
BCMA - The British Complementary Medicine Association (http://www.bcma.co.uk/)
FHT - The Federation of Holistic Therapists (http://www.fht.org.uk/home/)
CMA - The Complementary Medical Association (http://www.the-cma.org.uk/)
CNHC - The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (http://www.cnhc.org.uk/)

What if I have a question after the course?

You are more than welcome to contact us for ongoing support.

Do you have any testimonials?

Yes we have many people who have completed the Hijama Clinic cupping course who have gone on to set up their own practices. You may contact them to ask about their experiences on our course. Please take a look at our therapists page to see a list.
