250-Hour Professional Specialization Program

Our 250-hour Professional Specialization Programs enable students to enhance their skills and develop a specialty in private practice. Selecting classes from the full range of Acupressure Institute offerings, these programs provide both depth and breadth of knowledge. For depth, a student chooses a particular Specialization Area (Emotional Balancing, Women's Health, Traditional Asian Theory, Sports Applications, etc.) and takes classes related to that specialization. For breadth, a student is required to take at least 2 Advanced ABT Core classes, at least 1 Advanced Anatomy class, and at least 1 Apprenticeship Training class within their 250 hour program. The 250-hour Program includes 15 classes. Tapping into the specialized expertise of AI Faculty makes these programs an extraordinary way to leverage one’s time and effort into creating or evolving a professional practice.

Prerequisite:

Students must complete our Basic 150-Hour Training or equivalent.
