We offer Diploma option on certain courses within a set time of your course. Please check on the course page how many case studies are required, the time frames and costs can be found on this page. All case studies are assessed by an independent examiner and Diplomas are awarded by Yanagi Healing Arts and Clinics if successful.

Achieving your Diploma via Case Studies

Case Studies must be submitted to gain Diplomas, the instructions, cost and booking are done via this page.

A Diploma Certificate may be awarded after successful assessment of your case studies but this is not guaranteed, the administration fee is the fee for the examiner to assess your case studies. If you are not successful a free re-upload may be awarded within an agreed time. Diplomas are sent by post and may take up to around 60 days to arrive dependant on examiner availability.
All case studies must be uploaded and then booked via this page within the time allotted, if you believe you are going to be late, an email must be sent to the head examiner outlining your valid reason for lateness at least 2 weeks before your case studies are due. (Currently michelle@total-therapy.org)
Our external examiners from the UK examiner and assessment board have years of practical knowledge of therapies as well as huge experience of examining and assessing therapists.
If you do not pass your Diploma, you will get an email or phone call outlining the reason and letting you know whether you are recommended to re-attend before re-submission. If you are recommended to re-attend, it is up to you to book your course again, this will not be done for you. All re-attendances are given 50% discount, you may be given a discount code to get this.

All acupuncture type courses must have positions of needles when inserted, any techniques that leave marks (e.g. cupping or Gua Sha) must have pictures of resulting marks after treatment. Cosmetic treatments should have before and after photographs done in the same light, at the same angle and with the same facial expression, you should also include photographs of needles inserted if Cosmetic Acupuncture.

How to upload your assessments

Once you have placed your order, make a note of your order number and use a single WeTransfer to send the whole batch of cases to us.

Please use this link: https://wetransfer.com/

Please fill in the transfer form with the order number of your assessment booking and your name in the message, plus the words “Case Studies” and your course name in the subject.
Case documents may be uploaded using the “Upload your files” option using the blue plus button for each individual item, however it is usually best to use the “Select a Folder” option which is indicated by the red arrow in the picture below. Each Case must be in a seperate sub-folder. Please do not send all the cases as 1 document. This is extremely difficult to mark and will be rejected.

Any transfers not filled in or sent correctly may be delayed or rejected and need to be re-sent.

Late Submissions

If you believe your cases may be submitted late then an email must be sent to the Head Examiner (michelle@total-therapy.org currently) to request an extension. The following reasons are guidelines to what may be considered valid.

- - Medical Issues – For the duration of the issue
  - Religious Holidays – For the duration of the holiday
  - Isolation – For the duration of the Isolation
  - Bereavement – 1 month
  - Pregnancy – Can be discussed with examiner
  - Technical issues – 1 week

If your reason falls outside these areas, it may still be accepted if reasonable. If your extension goes on for over 3 months, you may be requested to do a re-attendance of the course. This is usually given at 50% discount of the full course price without equipment.
