Veterinary Acupuncture Certification Courses
Small Animal and Equine Veterinary Acupuncture courses are conducted online and in person. The list below shows the dates and locations of the in-person portion of the programs. The online course work must be completed prior to arriving at the in-person portion.
Students must register for a course at least four weeks prior to the in-person date.
Our in person sessions are designed for small, highly interactive groups, ensuring a personalized learning experience. To maintain quality instruction, we limit class sizes to a maximum ratio of one instructor per 3 to 4 students. This allows for individualized guidance, hands-on practice, and in-depth discussions throughout the course.

Veterinary acupuncture certification can be achieved by completing a full series of classes.
For small animal-only certification (cEBVAsa):
This is a 132 hour commitment that takes place over three levels. Each level has 20-24 hours of online content followed by a three-day in-person training. The online content will all be offered through Tufts University, but the in-person content can be completed in one of three locations: Tufts, Colorado or Hawaii.
For equine-only certification (cEBVAeq):
This is an 90 hour commitment that takes place in two levels. Level One requires 20 hours online preparation and a three-day in person training (offered at Tuft's and Hawaii). Level Two requires a 24-28 hour online preparation and a two-day in person training. Level Two is only be offered at Tuft's.
Complete both certifications:
Practitioners who complete both the equine and small animal certifications will receive an unqualified certificate (cEBVA).
Already Certified?
Certification requires participation in both the online and in-person portions. However, individuals who are already certified in acupuncture may purchase the online portion of the course for continuing training in neuro-anatomically based acupuncture.
