Requirements for Reflexology Professional Certification program completion
- Attendance and participation in all classes and clinics. Depending on the material missed, it may be possible for an attendee to make up hours missed due to extenuating circumstances. Make-up would be met with private tutoring with the instructor at $50/hour or assigned homework or a combination of the two, as determined by the instructor. Class make-up would be applied against the specific missed classroom hours; not added as additional credit hours.
- If a class or module needs to be re-scheduled due to instructor illness or emergency, extreme adverse weather conditions, or if the building or classroom is temporarily unsafe for any reason, re-scheduling and restructuring of these classes will be arranged with the mutual availability of all parties; no additional cost will be assigned to attendees. (FYI, this has never occurred!)
- Participation in class Outreach activities and class teaching assignments.
- Completion of Directed Independent Study (DIS), due module 5.
- Completion of Research Case Study, due February of following year.
- Full payment of tuition according to your personal enrollment agreement.

- Give one reflexology session to the program instructor or a qualified reflexologist designated by the instructor. This session can be scheduled anytime after the third module of classes. The cost for this is included in the tuition.
