Level 5 Foundation Degree in Reflexology
Next course starts May 2012
The Anahata School is now offering students the opportunity to acquire an excellent reflexology qualification.
The course is accredited by Agored Cymru, the Qualification and Awarding body in Wales and we have access to the accreditation via our partnership with the Centralia Academy (formerly Inspira), an Approved Centre in Cardiff. We have chosen this route to qualification as we felt there was a great need for a reflexology centred qualification and, to date, awarding bodies in England don’t feel able to offer this. As a private school, not dependent on Government funding, we are better placed to make this choice. We see this as a very exciting development for our profession.
This Quality & Lifelong Learning (QALL) Level 5 fits into the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) in England.
Our accredited Course gives a thorough and professional grounding in both theoretical and practical skills, at the same time ensuring a very enjoyable experience. We include training in Hand Reflexology within the course.
Coursework is approximately 50% teaching and 50% practical hands on experience. There is a minimum of 180 hours contact teaching time, plus 660 hours for home study over 12 months. The course runs over a period of 12 months, which represents eleven modules, each taking one weekend a month.
Continual formative assessment of individual study and development will take place throughout the course. Units will be internally assessed and externally moderated via your portfolio and other related evidence, against the assessment criteria – no exams! You will be writing your case studies as we go through the course, gradually building up as your knowledge grows.
The practical work is assessed internally as four sessions with clinical clients. In addition to this, you will have completed a minimum of 100 treatments for your case studies. Typically, case studies are begun during the course and completed once the course is over!
As the course runs on a modular basis, we can be flexible if you find you need to miss a module due to family matters, illness etc.. And we offer tutorials at no extra charge when you feel you need them, on a 1-2-1 basis.
