The short courses program are listed under the title of 'Fasttracks'. They are simple practical modules based on a basis of need-to-know-human interest program. The purpose of the program is to learn a skill and then get to work within 3 months to half a year as a TCS sports instructor, professional TSM masseur or TCM Beautician/facelifter. The modules together form a healthcare system branching to topics such as sports, massage and beauty acupuncture.

The Modules are CRBKO certified by Dutch law. Each module is about 30 contact hours and is completed with exam, apprenticeship, final paper (10-15 pages only!), certification and swearing-in ceremony. The Fasttracks are professional courses based on Chinese healthcare skills but culturally and scientifically neutral so that there is no requirement for in depth study as you would for a BA or MA certification course. They are based on practical skill development so practice drills are required to be able to apply for apprenticeship.
