Professional Qualification Foot Reflexology Course
A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 10 Lessons
Reflexology is an extremely effective form of foot massage based on the principle that ‘reflex points’ on the feet correspond to each organ and structure in the body. These points are linked to those organs by energy channels, zones or meridians. When illness or imbalance occurs in the body, the corresponding energy channels become blocked. Foot Reflexology Massage aims to destroy these blocks, allowing the energy to flow freely again, so restoring the body’s natural balance, and hence – good health.
Reflexologists regard the feet as a mirror of the body. Illnesses, or potential illnesses, are indicated by tender areas on the appropriate reflex points on the feet, reflecting imbalance of the affected organ or organs. By applying foot reflexology massage techniques to these points, the body can be prompted to maximise its own great capacity both to heal itself and to prevent illness. Learn how to apply Reflexology massage techniques to restore the body’s natural balance, and good health of your clients with our Foot Reflexology Course.
All professional Holistic Therapists will find that a sound grasp of human Anatomy and Physiology provides a useful foundation to their therapy studies.

Which distance learning study method should you choose?
Self Study: The self-study option is a faster method of study for those who feel they may not need that support. The Self Study team review each part of your course, rather than lesson by lesson, and the team will assess your work and inform you if you are making serious errors. You will not receive feedback on your work, and you may be asked to repeat an answer paper which does not reach our threshold of acceptance.
Tutored: The tutor option is for students who would like feedback on their work and who may require more support in their studies. Our dedicated Tutor Team will review your work lesson by lesson and give you feedback, where required. You can ask questions, and the team can guide you to success by helping you navigate the course material.
There are no time restrictions, you simply study and return work when you wish. Our courses do not expire, so take your time and enjoy the gentle learning curve. You simply work through the assignments at your own pace, free from the restrictions and pressures of working to deadlines.
On average students take approximately 200 hours, 3 – 4 months, to complete a non advanced course. Around 300 hours 5 – 6 months for an advanced course plus time for practical work with your volunteers for any hands-on therapy.
This is simply a guide; everyone studies at their own pace.
There are question papers at the end of each lesson, and a final question paper at the end of each of the courses which are all conducted via email. No attendance is required.
The Final Exam is classed as an open book exam so you can consult your course material to help if necessary.
An insurable Practitioner/Therapist Level Qualification is awarded on successful completion of this course.
