“The course was really informative, and the timings for both the theory and practical worked well. There was plenty of time for practice of needling. The tutors are really knowledgeable, and also make the course enjoyable, but at the same time giving as much information as possible to cover the learning objectives. Would recommend to anyone who is thinking of applying for the course.”
GILLIAN BOURNE, PRISON OFFICER, HMPS, ASKHAM GRANGE
“I recently attended the 2 day training in’The 5 Point Protocol’ which I found to be great for my professional development, to compliment my counselling work. Credit to the facilitators for making the days so thorough, informative and good fun too. I must admit, I embarked on the training feeling a bit cynical about the whole effectiveness of acupuncture but was definitely convinced. The course provides a super grounding and you’re given a training manual which covers absolutely everything you need. Anyone thinking about doing the course, I recommend it thoroughly”.
TRACEY BROOKS, SENIOR COUNSELLOR, STREETWISE
“A useful course delivered by confident and knowledgeable trainers.”
MATT GREENSMITH, LIFELINE, KIRKLEES
“I felt the pace of learning was just right, also there was always the option for people who found it too fast to revise and practise until they felt confident with the theory and practical work. The manual provided was well written and contained detailed information in a clear and concise format, making it alot easier to follow the course. It still provides a valuable point of reference for the Unit and it helped me to consolidate the practical aspect of the treatment with the theory. The subjects covered were very interesting and relevant, especially the aspects that covered the anatomy of the ear and how best to put acupuncture treatments into practice in the unit environment. The different formats for teaching were used which helped everyone to learn in their own ways. The amount of time assigned for practising was spot on, preparing us well for performing real treatments on patients”.
BETH WALKER, KEVIN WHITE UNIT, MERSEYCARE NHS
“The course, teaching and learning strategies were well explained and in-depth. I can recommend this training to any agency that requires this therapy; it has changed the clients’ time on the Kevin White Unit”.
ANDREW JOHNSON, KEVIN WHITE UNIT, MERSEYCARE NHS
“The two day training was really useful and enjoyable. The two facilitators complemented each other brillantly so the two days had a good balance between learning and being interesting and enjoyable. We were able to practise a lot which was essential. I came away with a good understanding of how ‘The 5 Point Protocol’ works. The training manual is clear and covers all the different issues. I would recommend this training to anybody who wanted to learn about Auricular Acupuncture”.
JAN ALBERTSEN, PROJECT COUNSELLOR, STREETWISE
“I found the course very informative and good to reiterate the therapy. I feel more confident about practising and know I am getting the points correct.
I feel ‘The 5 Point Protocol’ works well within our organisation and good to incorporate into key working sessions and complement peoples efforts to reduce.
I enjoyed the course, felt it gave good background information and also had fun doing it too. Thanks.”
ANDREW MORETON, LIFELINE, KIRKLEES
