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.

Students can select individual courses in accordance with their interests. Students may also structure a series of classes in a way that might achieve specific objectives such as improving job skills, pursuing new careers, or obtaining certificates or degrees.

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