CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

Clinical Experience is a vital component of the professional training, as it integrates and applies the knowledge the students have gained. The minimum hours are set by the accrediting professional bodies, and by the College.

It is the Colleges policy that students should not practice before graduation, except under the supervision of the College or a professional and insured health care provider. Clinical Experience is outlined at the end of Reflexology II and once a student has gained the Certificate of Reflexology, Clinical Experience can be commenced.

For this portion of the course the student is expected to adhere to a particular dress code. The dress code and other clinical procedures will be outlined in detail prior to the commencement of clinic.

Supervised Clinic and Work Experience will include a combination of College supervised hours and hours completed in the student’s own time, under the supervision of a professional and insured health care provider and/or in a health care institution.
