Training in Hijama
Three questions decide what a training course is worth. Here are our answers, including the uncomfortable ones.
Hear about the next sessionsFirst: are you allowed to?
Dry hijama, with cups placed on the skin, sits within a wellbeing practice. Wet hijama, the kind that involves incisions, is a medical act reserved for registered health professionals, in France as in Belgium. A course that does not tell you this in the first hour is putting you at risk, and not only legally.
What we check, and what we do not
We check who teaches: identity, qualifications, professional status. We do not judge the teaching and we certify no content. Nobody can do that honestly, because there is no state qualification in hijama. Be wary of anyone claiming otherwise.
What happens once you are trained
This is the part nobody looks at beforehand, and everybody regrets afterwards. A certificate in a drawer brings you no patients. Trained practitioners get a verified page in the directory, with their patient reviews, and appear in searches for their town. Your training becomes a practice.

Clinical registration is rare in this field, and it is exactly what makes it possible to answer the first question on this page honestly. Dates, syllabus and price will be published here.
Hijama.app does not teach and organises no courses. We list those whose trainer we have checked, and we then welcome the trained practitioners into the directory.
