I can’t open the possibly relevant window in your website to find out about the tuition fees. I would also like to know whether successful graduation from your acupuncture program would make one eligible to take the American accreditation exam.
Yes, if one passes our course, he/she can take US exam. We currently have students from California, Illinois, and Ohio. please email oshio@shaw.ca and we will be happy to email you tuition fees as well as application for study.
