Data Protection Requirements<\/u><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/data-protection<\/a><\/p>\n

All course accreditation applicants must meet with the Society registrar to discuss course content, objectives\/outcomes and examination criteria\/methods and are advised as to what is required.<\/p>\n

The registrar discusses the application and its merits\/failings with the acupuncture society accreditation board.
\nThe board is composed of 3 society fellows who make judgements as to the appropriateness of the course, its location, content and the qualification of its teachers\/course leaders. The Board cannot contain fellows who are course leaders of any courses being discussed for accreditation<\/p>\n

As Acupuncture is a therapy-based subject we accept course leaders with at least 10 years clinical experience as practitioners, teaching qualifications without clinical experience as a practitioner are not acceptable.<\/p>\n

Following scrutiny of the application documents, if any failings are detected, then recommendations will be made to the applicant so that they can remedy any short comings in their documentation; if the society accreditation recommendations<\/span><\/span> are not met within 3 months then an application will be declined and re application would be necessary.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Course accreditation applicants must re re-apply annually and meet the registrar discuss course documents and outcomes from the previous year. Recommendations will be made to the re applicants after discussions have taken place the accreditation board and they will be advised accordingly if there are any further or new recommendations to which they should adhere and any further documentation in this event should be re submitted the society.<\/p>\n
