Frequently Asked Questions

Why is your course longer than many others?

The Maitri Foundation Reflexology course allows for plenty of hands on practice to develop confident experiential skills in treating the feet, hands and head. This is along with a thorough grounding in the theoretical basis of Reflexology, and detailed study of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology. We also teach you as an individual, allowing for differences in learning styles and varying speeds of comprehension. If you study the amount of contact hours, and the syllabi of different courses, you will discover that we teach a far more extensive syllabus and spend more time developing the physical and energetic skills of our students. You will have the time to practice and refine what you are taught because our goal is to graduate practitioners who will create profitable, enjoyable and sustainable careers in complementary medicine.

Why do some courses cost less than yours?

We suggest that you compare the syllabi, duration and scope for each of the courses you are considering. This will enable you to see what it is that you are buying. This course is designed to far exceed the standards and breadth expected by the largest governing body of Reflexologists. We believe we represent excellent value for money!

I would love to do the course, but I can't afford it.

Maitri Foundation is happy to arrange payment by installments. We ask for a percentage of the fees at the start of the course. Payments are then staggered throughout the duration of the course. Also, in the past, students have been sponsored by various organizations. So lack of money is not necessarily a problem!

Also, the opportunity to Fast Track the course if you are already qualified in A & P can save you money.
