There is a considerable amount of home study to be completed in the first part of the course based on these sessions, which will form part of the final exam.
During the second part of the course Students will be expected to submit case histories containing a total of 60 treatments and 3 on site client studies.
A session will be organised for students to acquire a simple First Aid Certificate suitable for reflexologists and the workplace, which is required for AoR membership.
