- Submit photos for assessment
- Receive feedback and, if needed, up to three submission attempts to ensure you’re confident and prepared
🎓 Will I be certified after completing the course?
Yes. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive an IPHM-accredited Advanced Diploma in Hijama Therapy (Wet Cupping). This internationally recognised qualification enables you to confidently offer professional Hijama services and integrate this skill into your business.
Once certified, you can offer Hijama services professionally (subject to your country’s health guidelines). Our students successfully practice in clinics, wellness centres, and private businesses worldwide.
⏳ How long does it take to complete the course?
The course is entirely self-paced. Some students finish within a few weeks; others take several months depending on their availability and preferred learning speed. You have lifetime access to take your time.
🩺 Do I need a medical background to learn Hijama?
No. This course is designed for beginners with no medical experience as well as those working in related fields like massage therapy, holistic health, or wellness.
💬 Is Hijama the same as dry cupping?
No. Hijama (wet cupping) involves small, shallow incisions to remove stagnant blood and toxins. Dry cupping uses suction only and does not involve bloodletting.
Our course focuses exclusively on Hijama therapy (wet cupping); however, we also cover other common cupping techniques to broaden your understanding.
🧰 Do I need special equipment to practice Hijama?
Yes — safe practice requires cups, blades, gloves, suction pump, and hygiene materials. We provide your starter kit with everything you need to complete your certification.
📚 Is Hijama difficult to learn?
With proper training, it’s very achievable. Our course is designed to help you build confidence step-by-step through video demonstrations, guided practice, and assessments.
🏥 Can I integrate Hijama with my existing wellness practice?
Yes. Many of our students successfully add Hijama therapy to their clinics or wellness services, including massage, naturopathy, and holistic health practices. A large number of our current students are existing doctors, physiotherapists, and chiropractors who integrate Hijama to complement their professional services.
🛒 How can I buy more Hijama equipment after certification?
We offer exclusive practitioner kits for our certified students to help you stock up on essentials as your practice grows. For larger orders or clinic needs, you can explore our wholesale cupping supplies.
