Net of Knowledge is an exciting, new continuing education platform built specifically for TCM and integrative health practitioners.
We are industry stakeholders who have come together from around the globe with a common mission: to inspire and support practitioners like you in your pursuit of knowledge and growth, so you can keep giving more to the patients and communities you support.
Come learn from some of the brightest minds of our field in our engaging digital environment.
To support your continuous self-development, we wanted to make it easier for you to keep learning from the teachers you love, even when you don’t need the CEUs. A lot of time goes into making the quiz and certificate applications for a course—if you don’t need it, why pay for it?
If you see a course or series you’re interested in, but aren’t sure if you need it towards your CEUs, just purchase the ‘Course Only’ or 'Series Only' option, and start learning right away! If you decide you need the CEUs at a later time, you can purchase the CEU add-on then.
Please note, CEU add-ons can only be applied if you have the course or series in your account, to begin with. If you buy a CEU add-on on its own, you will need to go back and buy the course or series respectively.
You have selected CEUs ONLY option. The CEU add-ons can only be applied to courses you already have in your Net of Knowledge account.
If you have purchased a CEUs ONLY option first by accident, you can come back here and purchase the COURSE ONLY option, and they will link back up automatically.
The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the practice of five element acupuncture, with in-depth analysis of the different characteristics of each of the five elements. The course is intended for acupuncture students and practitioners.
One of the delights of learning about the elements is that it gives us a deeper understanding of human nature, because it is a way of learning more about how we function as human beings. Followers of this course will find that they will use what they have learned to help them in their personal lives in often surprising ways. Once they become aware of how the different characteristics of each element shape each life, they will find that they become more tolerant of these differences in those around them. They will learn to understand that it is not odd if a friend or a partner views life from a different perspective from theirs, because they may be under the control of a different element.
Once you have completed this course, I hope that you will understand yourself a little better, and appreciate how a knowledge of the elements makes every meeting with another person both exciting and challenging.
This introduction will help the practitioner understand the practical differences between five element acupuncture and other styles, introduce the constitutional element and the importance of the practitioner patient relationship in treatment.
30 min - 2 hrsThe practitioner will be introduced the 5 Elements & 12 officials at a deeper level along with the practical diagnostic skills needed to identify a clients constitutional element weakness.
2 hrs - 3 hrsThe practitioner will be introduced to and learn the practical skills for identifying five separate blocks to treatment along with point selection and protocols for clearing these blocks.
3 hrs - 3.5 hrsThe practitioner will be introduced to and learn some of the ‘Spirit of Points’ and gain skills in point selection and treatment of a personal constitutional element weakness.

Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
