The centre of excellence in degree-level acupuncture courses for professional practice
Welcome to the NCA!
Located in the centre of the historic and beautiful city of York, we are a proudly independent, small and friendly College, with an international reputation. For over 35 years we have been focussed on our mission – to create great practitioners – and to help great practitioners develop their skills and knowledge!
We teach a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine Nutrition Diploma and our alumni continue to receive support in their businesses via our Practitioner Hub. Our lecturers are working in their fields and passionate about the subjects they teach and our clinical training is at the heart of our practitioner training courses.
We invite you to explore our website and find out about how, with an NCA training or practitioner development course, you can help yourself to help others and have a profession to be passionate about.

Our students love their time here, our graduates love being in practice
I graduated from the NCA in 2023 and can highly recommend them. I enjoyed every minute of my time here and would recommend them to anyone wanting to train in acupuncture. Great building and area in York and inspiring, dedicated and knowledgeable staff made my experience there amazing.
