Program Description - Hand Certification Program

This intensive program runs for one day a week for five weeks. The time is divided into two halves with the morning dedicated to anatomy and physiology and the afternoon for the hands-on reflexology training.

The curriculum includes:

This class is 120 hours and broken down as:

• 40 hours of class time
• 60 hours of homework (reading and studying for quizzes each week)
• Complete 10 practice sessions each week (40 total)
• All students will be required to complete 40 comprehensive case studies (done after class is over) and a thesis in order to complete the program.

If a student falls behind they will be required to sign up for tutoring at an additional charge. Lessons missed need to be made up and are entirely the responsibility of the individual student. The make up lesson will have to be done outside regular class time at The Center for Universal Reflexology in Cumberland, RI at a rate of $60 per hour session.

On completion of this course, current foot reflexology students are qualified to sit for the national certification examination administered by the American Reflexology Certification Board. Students are encouraged to sit for national certification within one year of completing the intensive program. Exams are available two times a year, usually in May and October.
