CERTIFICATION COURSE IN REFLEXOLOGY

The Honor & Hope School of Reflexology and Holistic Studies offers the student a superb education in Reflexology.

This program is geared to students who wish to practice on a professional level and who are serious about their work. It is comprehensive and thorough and designed to prepare one for a responsible and respected practice within the community.

Class sizes are limited with much personal attention given. The atmosphere is informal and supports, encourages and challenges each student to reach his or her highest potential.

We believe in providing a good scientific background for the training while honoring the intuitive part that puts this modality into the category of a healing “art” as well as a science.

This course is designed to prepare you for the American Reflexology Certification Boards.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

There is a course requirement to have a 30-hour component for Anatomy and Physiology. If you have had college credits for Anatomy and Physiology in the last five years or an equivalent from another discipline, you can take a challenge exam, and if you pass, you will be able to omit this portion of the course.

An additional 100 hours of documented practical experience is necessary for certification.
Both a written and practical examination are given to help the student demonstrate their command of both the academic as well as the hands-on grasp of the art, science, and technology of highly effective Reflexology skills. There is no additional fee for the exam portion of the certification.

The final examination is conducted one-two months after the last day of class. This allows students the opportunity to practice and internalize everything taught during the classroom instruction. This policy acknowledges that events in life happen where a student might not be able to make a test date or that some people need more time to practice and study than others. What we care about most, is that the student, in one way or another, be able to demonstrate having learned appropriate principles, theories, and applicable knowledge as covered in class.
