US NCCAOM Certification

bbsadmin

I came across your program by accident, and am pretty fascinated by it. I was wondering if you could provide me with the following information:

- I am aware that the China Academy of TCM is listed on the NCCAOM schools list on their website. However, will the certificate from the online distance program qualify an individual to sit for the NCCAOM licensing exam?

- If I already have a background in TCM through similar education in the US, will some of these classes be transferable as credit into the online program, so that I won't need to start from the very beginning but continue from where I left off?

Thanks in advance for the response.

Thank your interest in Medboo TCM distance training program and welcome you to join us.

Yes, the China Academy of TCM is listed on the NCCAOM schools list on their website. I am not sure the ceritificate of online training will be accepted by the NCCAOM right now. However, we have more than 100 graduated students from USA, they are making great efforts to strive for the qualification to attend the licensing examination issued by NCCAOM. I think the NCCAOM will finally accept their requirement and allow them to attend the licensing exam within the short future.

I am sorry that we can not transfer your background class as credit into the online program. However, you can chose any option you like about the course selection based on youself condition and background.
Thanks a lot

Thanks for your prompt response. I have some other questions:

(1) Would I have to take all of the 8 courses in full (A-H) to get the final certificate awarded by the Academy?

(2) I would be glad to sign up for all 8 if that is what I needed to get the certificate, but in this case, would I be able to take some form of test to bypass some of the courses?

Again, I appreciate your feedback.

That's my pleasure. Of course, you can take all of the courses, from course A to G, only seven courses at all in Medboo now instead of 8 courses. Please visit at http://www.ontcm.com/dotnetnuke/OnlineCourses/tabid/63/Default.aspx for detail information.

We welcome every person who are interested in Chinese medicine and Chinese Culture to join in our training program. The aim of the training program is to promote and transport the Chinese culture and traditional Chinese medicine to all of the world. There is no prerequisite for taking the courses. Please fill the registration form at http://www.ontcm.com/training/reg.htm at first.
Looking for hearing from you soon.
