Entry Requirements
A certificate in Anatomy, Physiology & Massage is preferred but not essential. The reflexology diploma course does not cover basic anatomy & physiology. If coming onto the course without a background in this you will be expected to cover it through home study. Study notes and homework will be provided by the school.

Examination System
Continuous assessment by means of written homework, assignments and home practice. Home study and practice is over a minimum period of three months following the school attendance days. A final assessment date is arranged after the home study period. Please note that a fee of £85.00 is payable for the VTCT assessment and verification which includes lifetime registration and Health & Safety modules. If you are already registered with VTCT this fee may be reduced by up to £34.00.

Qualification Attained

The Manchester Therapy Centre has part-time work available on an ongoing basis for reflexologists in the Manchester area.

Further Information
The reflexology course includes ‘hands on’ training in foot reflexology. Course times are from 10.30 am to about 5.30 pm depending on the group size. You will learn reflexology techniques, how to assess the client and perform foot massage, plus the background knowledge necessary to setup in business. The reflexology diploma qualification is recognised in many countries outside the UK and gives a good grounding for further qualifications in holistic therapies. The venue is at the Manchester School of Massage in South Manchester. The group size is kept below ten for individual attention.
