I'm a nurse and work part-time with the NHS. I wanted to learn clinical reflexology which I could practise from home and which would complement my nursing role in the local hospital. The course at Jubilee College demanded an immnense amount of time and energy for 10 months but it was really worth it. The standard of teaching in anatomy & physiology and practical reflexology was second to none. David was such an inspirational tutor with his depth of knowledge and unquenchable enthusiasm. He made us all feel valued, both as students and friends. If you're prepared to throw your heart and soul into studying reflexology and want to graduate with the highest qualification in the country, then Jubilee College is the place to train.

"David Wayte - what can I say?
I enrolled on the reflexology course because I am a firm believer in complementary therapies and wanted to acquire a skill and a qualification to be able to practise reflexology and earn a living.
Whilst I have a background in adult education, it was a long time since I had been in the classroom, and it was strange how nerve wracking it felt at the start.
David very quickly put us at our ease, with his slightly strange brand of humour! He was always happy to answer our questions, however basic or ridiculous they seemed, and so we felt encouraged to ask more.
Whilst a fair amount of the course content was factual and heavy going (eg systems of the body), he would try and vary the teaching style and bring along quizzes (with chocolate for prizes!) or slides and other graphics.
He was extremely helpful regarding the regular course tests, always going over the answers thoroughly, so we could see where we had gone wrong.
The practical assessments caused particular anxiety, and he managed to make us feel that we actually knew more than we realised, which was good for our confidence. And whilst he had to pull us up on things we were doing wrong, he always did it with humour and kindness.
I would happily recommend any course run by David."

"I initially began this course as a bit of a sceptic of complementary therapies. However, I wanted to learn a new skill which would be mentally challenging but which was also very different from my corporate, stressful job. I have been absolutely thrilled with my choice to study reflexology at the Jubilee College as it has provided this challenge but also so much more.
The course is demanding in that there are assignments to complete every three weeks initially, regular tests on the anatomy and physiology and case studies to complete. These take a sustained level of dedication to the course but it is more that possible to complete the elements and also have a life â I have managed to move house twice, start a new job and have a baby during the length of the course!
David has been extremely supportive of my personal circumstances and has been flexible about how I complete my studies. I have moved from the Nottingham school to the Manchester school with ease and was made to feel very welcome. I have even taken my new baby to two of the classes as I have been breast-feeding and unable to leave him at home for the day. There are not many schools where you can take your baby to class, and have many wonderful babysitters there too. I think that this is a great reflection on David's easy going but professional approach.
David is an excellent tutor as he has an extensive knowledge on all aspects of reflexology but is able to convey this in easy to digest chunks of information, delivered with a sense of humour. There was a wide spectrum of people on my course, of all ages and educational background. David was able to accommodate the varied ability class and made all of us feel competent and able to pass the exams.
As I mentioned above, I have gained a lot from the course. At times it has been an escape from the day to day stresses of life, I have made some good friends and I have laughed a lot. I have also been totally convinced of the benefits of reflexology. This is because I have been able to experience for myself the positive impact it can have on a person's health. Because of the positivity of reflexology, I feel I have also regained some balance in my life which is invaluable."

Studying reflexology has been a life-changing experience and I have enjoyed the course 100%. The instruction from Melanie has been second to none; not only does she have great knowledge in the field of reflexology and other complementary therapies, but she is able to draw upon her professional experience as a trained pharmacist too! It really has been an absolute joy to study this course and I can not wait to open up my own reflexology business and show others the benefits of reflexology! Many thanks, Melanie.
