Online Advanced Maternity Reflexology CPD Course

Sally Earlam and Kate Mulliss

This course covers the same content as the face to face training and is ONLY available to reflexologists who have already completed my 2 day Maternity Reflexology course. If you have not completed my Maternity Reflexology course this is available as online training

The AoR, in partnership with Napier University, is delighted to now be able to offer suitably qualified reflexologists the opportunity to partake in Advanced Reflexology Modules for those who wish to take their learning to a more advanced level. These modules have been credit rated by Napier University and deemed to be at Level 8 on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF). This equates to an English and Welsh Level 5 qualification, i.e. foundation degree level.
