If you want to learn Reflexology and you want to earn a living being a professional Reflexology Practitioner, this article is for you:

The first thing you want to ensure is that the Association of Reflexologists accepts the course you are thinking of taking. This ensures you can become a member once you are qualified. For impartial adcice about any school, their phone number is 01823 351010.

Then think about the qualification you want to take: In the UK there are two regulated qualifications: Level 3 and Level 5. Unfortunately there are many rogue course providers, and to confuse things even more there is now a Level 5 organisation that is not accepted by the Association of Reflexologists (all the more reason to take their advice before booking on to any course). So how do you tell the real from the fake? Simple - just click on  https://www.aor.org.uk/home/training/want-to-train/ and scroll to the bottom of the page to see ALL the level 5 and Level 3 schools that they accept. As you might have already guessed - Jubilee College meets the high standards required to be one of the AoR's Gateway Schools.

Choose which level of qualification you want to learn at: If you want to be the best, then the answer is easy – choose level 5. Don’t think that you have to learn at level 3 first, you don’t. Level 5 is designed to take a student from no knowledge at all and equip you with all the skills you need.

Then think about ease of learning: Jubilee College has ELEVEN venues in England. Should you need to swap a training date and attend the same lesson at a different venue, this is all part of our service.

Think about the support you might need: All the Jubilee College tutors are full time teachers and Reflexologists. We are available to support you right the way though the course.

Support after you have finished learning: Jubilee College gives lifetime support to all its graduates!

Ask to visit a class so you can meet current students and your tutor. Jubilee College actively encourages this…… and we also love giving you a free treatment during your visit.

What to avoid – THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Avoid online courses: None of these are accepted by any of the genuine membership associations, so are worthless.

Watch out for courses that only allow you to join their own Membership Association. These are very often unregulated courses and you will find yourself restricted once you have qualified.

If the school you are interested in isn't on the AoR's website, stay well away from them. There will be a reason they are not listed.

Lastly if the website talks about ‘equivalent to’ Level 3 or Level 5 or if they mention a ‘bridging course’ to Level 5 it is a fake qualification.

It is a shame that there is so much confusion when looking for genuine Reflexology training. I hope this article helps guide you and wherever you wish to train I hope you will have a fantastic and rewarding career in Reflexology ahead of you.
