Practitioner Registration
Open to any qualified Acupuncture Practitioner
Membership to ARA is only open to organisations, however practitioners can join one of the ARA associations and their entry requirements are listed below.Â
Each group has various criteria for joining and some organisations only allow members who have qualified from their own course to become a member of their organisation. Other organisations will accept applications from people with qualifications from other schools – If your training was at a non ARA organisation’s school then the associations below may still accept you based on your training and it is best to email the one that is most relevant to you.
