There are many schools and colleges offering courses for Reflexology training, but how do you know which one to go to? What level of training will you receive, will your qualification be widely recognised by all employers, including the UK government and the NHS?

Jubilee College is fully accredited by ABC Awards, and delivers the new seven module qualification, accepted by the Association of Reflexologists (AoR), the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and Professional Reflexology (PR). The AoR and Professional Reflexology are the two best known and highly respected professional Reflexology organisations in the UK. They have Government recognition, are members of the Reflexology in Europe Network, and are members of the Reflexology Forum. Both member organisations offer exceptional insurance cover, regional support groups, an internationally recognised journal, advice and information services, promotional literature and activities, research initiatives and an ongoing educational programme. The FHT is the largest multi-disciplinary holistic association in the United Kingdom and also offers much in support of its member therapists.

As a graduate of Jubilee College, you will be able to register with the NHS Register of Reflexologists, become a member of the any of the above organisations (without upgrading any Reflexology qualifications), together with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).  Lastly, all graduates of Jubilee College are allowed to use the initials GJC (Dip. Reflex) after their name.

Training takes the form of seven modules:

• Module Y501/9253 - Principles and Practice of Complementary Therapies
  

• Module T501/9101 - Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology
  

• Module F501/9117 - Practical Reflexology
  

• Module K501/9256 - Health & Safety for Complementary Therapists
  

• Module D501/9111 - Less Common Pathologies for Complementary Therapists
  

• Module H501/9255 - Business Practice for Complementary Therapists
  

• Module A501/9116 - Reflective Practice for Reflexologists

These modules can be studied as a whole, across one academic year, or can be studied individually. From experience, we do recommended that they are studied all together, as they all relate to one another and, therefore, make more sense when studied cohesively. If studied one module at a time, it will take longer to qualify, but we understand that different people work at different speeds, and so we will endeavour to support students however they wish to learn.

The modules are interchangeable, so if you have already studied one of these as part of another course, (ie you have a diploma in A&P and Massage) then it is unnecessary to study A&P all over again.  (NB: This only applies if you studied the new modular qualification with ABC Awards, C&G, ITEC or VTCT from 2011 onwards).

During your course, you will undertake 100 case study treatments, three assessments of your practical skills (client studies) and there will be homework to do in your own time. The good news is, that there is no end of term exam - you will build a portfolio of work throughout the course, and upon successful completion of this (and your practical assessments), you will then qualify as a professional Reflexologist.

Class sizes are kept small to guarantee individual tuition, so to avoid disappointment, early booking is recommended. To see what training is like at Jubilee College, click here to have a look at our photo gallery. To book a course, please scroll to the bottom of this page.
