Reflexology Diploma Course (Level 3)
This is one of the most comprehensive reflexology training courses available in the South East and is studied over a full year. The student attends classes regularly, one full weekend each month for 10 months plus a study/revision class. Over 140 hours face to face in class.
We train our students to become the best Professional Reflexologists and therapists possible. It is important for the student to understand the importance of supporting the client in every way they can. The Reflexology Diploma course taught at The Surrey School of Reflexology covers all aspects of client-care and support so the student can become a complete professional therapist.
Each weekend, theory is covered plus 6 hours of practical training when the student learns a full 50 minute routine of the feet. In addition, following weekend 4 students will commence their case studies as part of their home study.
12 people drawn from friends, family, work colleagues, and friends of friends, will be volunteer case studies for the student. These case studies amount to over 108 practical treatments and are presented as part of the practical examination. It is necessary to complete this number of case study treatments to acquire confidence and experience before working with the public.
On completion of the course the student will be able to set up their practice and provide a professional reflexology treatment and support to their clients with safety and expertise. Progress with each case study is discussed in class so all students can benefit from advice given according to presentation of the model.
There is continuing support from the school after graduation when required.
All students who have trained and qualified at the Surrey School of Reflexology are eligible for FULL membership to the International Federation of Reflexologists IFR, Professional Reflexology Organisation, The Complementary Medical Association CMA, plus various umbrella organisations such as The Complementary Therapists Association CThA and The Federation of Holistic Therapists FHT. You will also be able to register with the NHS as a complementary therapist.
Anatomy & Physiology
Level 3 Certificate in Anatomy and Physiology is also studied within this course and a separate examination is taken. This is taught with reference to the body and the reflexology reflexes.
NB. This course provides in class study of Anatomy & Physiology so that the student can get to grips with the subject and ask questions during class . Many schools provide a book and there is no in class training – the student is expected to learn A&P by home study only.
Pathology
Pathology, the study of human disease and conditions is also featured highly.
Diploma in Reflexology
The Diploma in Reflexology always fills very quickly – the attraction is learning with a small group – only 5/6 students are registered on each course so individual attention can be given.
Many of our students are in full-time work and looking for a career change; others are mature coming to Complementary Therapies once children are not so demanding or have flown the nest. Another group of students we have are those who have retired from full-time work and looking for not only a challenge but also to be able to help others. These have “the university of life” to draw on and their contribution in class is appreciated.
We pride ourselves in being able to support the learning of those with slight Dyslexic tendencies as classes are small.
Qualifications required are enthusiasm to study Reflexology and understand the principles of how the human body works, and also have a good understanding of both the written and spoken English language.
To achieve the most from this course, application and dedication is required of the student.
Cost of the Diploma Course inc. all studies, text books & student membership to the Professional Reflexology Association is £2,095. Other expenses include Examination Fees (total approx. £210), large size Foot Chart (optional), tunic, towels, Reflexology chair or a couch.
Attendance is ONE weekend a month Saturday & Sunday start time is 9.45am
Assessment is continuous with modular homework written at home between attendance. This work becomes part of the overall examination mark. Examinations (external) at the end of the course after completion of modules, pathology conditions folder, and practical case studies are:
- Practical & Oral assessment with external examiners from IEB External examiners attend the school to examine the student’s practical routine/care of the “client” using a model.
- Reflexology written 3 hour paper marked externally by IEB (Part multiple choice and part full questions).

The next course with spaces still available commences APRIL 2024. Dates of attendance for this course are available please contact the school via the Contact page or email info@complementarytherapycourses.co.uk
Do not be attracted to shorter courses if you wish to become a competent Reflexologist as less information will be covered and not enough time will be dedicated to purely hands-on reflexology routine practice which increases your self-confidence and ability to support your client once you are running your own practice.
