Q. What is the difference between your programme and other schools offering certification Reflexology courses?

A. Janet Williams, the Director of Footsteps School of Reflexology, personally teaches all the classes. Janet was trained in the UK, where the standards are extremely high, and the courses very intensive. Janet's standards are also very high, as she endeavours to emulate her mentor, Ann Gillanders. The courses we offer are therefore the most extensive that you can find in Canada .

Q. How many hours of study will I need to complete for the certification course?

A. The CRHP course requires 30 hours of class instruction, concluding with a theoretical and practical examination. You will then be required to complete a further 60 hours of case study work, which involves working on patients to achieve a beneficial outcome. Each patient must be treated at least six times and a student will monitor, make notes and evaluate each case. There is also a requirement of a minimum of three hours a week home study during the class instruction, and then that will increase when you start on the case studies.

Q. Do I need any prior qualifications or learning before I take the Reflexology certification course?

A. If you have no experience or qualification from the health field, you will need to obtain an Anatomy & Physiology qualification. This course is offered by Footsteps as a correspondence course.

A. Footsteps School of Reflexology uses three locations within the Greater Toronto Area which changes throughout the year, however they are all conveniently located near the subway. Please contact us for the next available dates.

A. This changes throughout the year, but we do offer Saturdays and Mondays as the usual days. Check with the course date schedule.

Q. How many students do you have in the classes?

A. All the classes are run with minimum numbers to achieve the best results from individual learning. Most classes are between 4 and 8 students.

Q. Do you have any advanced courses or ongoing help for students who have already qualified?

A. We have an Advanced Reflexology course that runs at least twice a year and also open days throughout the year where students can get together with each other and also Janet Williams, to discuss any queries they may have, since qualifying. There are also other courses available at the school, Stress Management and Business Studies, for those students needing help in setting up a business.

Q. Can I take a general interest course?

A. We offer several short courses and one-day workshops for the general public who are interested in natural healthcare and to use their skill on family and friends.
