The Nordic Acupuncture School has been a central player in the education of acupuncturists since its establishment in 1984. The school works to promote professionally sound education in acupuncture and has participated in expert groups in the World Health Organization (WHO). The education offered requires a minimum of 2,500 hours, as well as a 4-year bachelor's degree to ensure qualified treatment. This emphasizes the school's focus on quality and patient safety.
The education program includes 90 credits in medical subjects, which gives the students a solid professional background. The guidelines for education are laid down by the Acupuncture Association, and the school places great emphasis on qualifications for therapists. Through its work, the Nordic Acupuncture School contributes to raising the standards for acupuncture practice in Norway.
