CMA & IPHM Accredited
The Level 5 Hijama Diploma is the most thorough body Hijama qualification available in the UK — a comprehensive two-day intensive programme covering the complete theory and practice of wet and dry cupping, taught by Nasima Nahar and her expert team in London. This is not an introductory course. It is a full professional qualification that takes you from the foundations of Hijama — its roots in Islamic medicine, the Sunnah points, the classical literature — through to the detailed anatomy and physiology you need to practise safely, the infection control standards required by professional bodies, and the supervised clinical practice that builds genuine competence. You will learn wet cupping (Hijama) in full — the therapeutic release technique, Sunnah point protocols, body mapping, and the clinical reasoning behind point selection. You will learn dry cupping — static, dynamic, and flash cupping methods and their specific indications. You will study the musculoskeletal system, the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, and the layers of the skin in the depth required to make safe, informed treatment decisions. You will learn how to take a professional client consultation, screen for contraindications, obtain informed consent, and document your treatments to the standard required by professional indemnity insurers. You will practise on real clients under direct supervision, and you will complete 25 supervised case studies with feedback — each individually reviewed and marked with detailed written feedback from Nasima Nahar — before your certificate is awarded. A free starter kit is included: 20 cups, pump, blades, and antiseptic wipes — everything you need to begin practising immediately. Medical history form templates and client consultation forms are provided, print-ready from your very first client. A business plan and step-by-step salon set-up guide are included to help you launch and grow your practice with confidence. Ongoing post-course mentorship is included as standard.
