Plans for next years Level 3 Diploma Course are now well under way. Dates are confirmed for the first half of the course up until the end of April 2012 - we may need to make some minor changes after that but hopefully we'll be able to finalise with the University shortly.

There are still a few places left on the Taster Day on August 14th and the Diploma Course is filling up rapidly.

Current students have been gaining valuable experience from our clinic sessions where outside clients are invited in for treatments. Quite a few prospective students have taken the opportunity to come in for a treatment to get an idea of what they might be taking on next year. The message is always the same - it's hard work but hugely interesting and rewarding. There are no short cuts to becoming a successful reflexologist!

Prospective students often ask what they should be looking for in a good reflexology course. First of all you need to check that the qualification is well recognised and will give you membership of professional associations and onto the CNHC register of practitioners. It's really important to ask about your tutor's experience in running the diploma course and if possible ask to speak to past students - or go into class for a treatment. Short courses are a definite no-no. It takes time and effort to develop as a therapist and you shouldn't even consider a short-cut. You get what you pay for.
