- Is this programme recognised by NHS services?
- The certificate is issued by the institution, not by the NHS. Some graduates integrate ḥijāma within regulated roles, while others practise independently within local law. We advise applicants to seek individual regulatory advice.
- Can I practise after a weekend course?
- No. The programme requires twelve weeks, forty supervised sessions, a written examination, and an OSCE.
- Do Prophetic reports guarantee benefit?
- The institution grades reports and teaches them with clear sourcing. We do not promise outcomes. Ḥijāma is presented as a means within defined limits.
- What marks may volunteers observe?
- Circular erythema from suction is expected and usually fades within one to two weeks. This is explained before consent and is not treated as injury when technique is appropriate.
- Are instalments available?
- Yes. Instalments are available on request without interest. Full fee is secured before the final OSCE.
- What happens if I miss sessions?
- Two excused absences may be remediated. Beyond that threshold, certification is deferred to the next cohort and completed modules are not refunded.
- Is wet cupping considered safe?
- Risk is generally low when contraindications are respected, sterility is maintained, and supervision is followed. Serious complications are uncommon but taught explicitly, including infection, syncope, and burns from incorrect technique.
