Home Study

An integral part of the course is time spent in home study, of both theory and practice. An important feature of this Diploma course is the continuous assessment and support of the students. The School expects a high level of student commitment throughout the course, both in and out of School.

Examinations

At the end of the course candidates will sit a 3 hour theory paper plus a 90 minute practical exam, where theoretical and practical knowledge of Clinical Reflexology will be demonstrated along with client handling techniques and standards of Health, Safety and Hygiene are assessed. Students will also need to submit documented evidence of having completed 100 hours of case studies.

Qualifications

On satisfactory completion of the course successful candidates will be awarded the  Aromatherapy and Allied Practitioners' Association's (A.A.P.A.) Diploma in Reflexology, and a Diploma in Clinical Reflexology from The Sue Lincoln School of Holistic Therapies.
