Veterinary Acupuncture Certification Courses

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. Level Two requires a 24-28 hour online preparation and a two-day in person training. 

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. For EBVA-certified acupuncturists, these courses count toward the 100 hours of CE required every 10 years to maintain certification. See Online Learning for Practicing Veterinary Acupuncturists.
