Foot Reflexology Certification Course
This 110 hour comprehensive training course leads to certification. It includes 35 hours of classroom instruction, 15 hours of home study, and 60 hours of independent practical training. The 35 hours of classroom instruction includes: basic anatomy and physiology, health conditions, the study of the reflex points, foot assessment, health form documentation and hands-on application. The 15 hours of home study complement your classroom learning with various exercises that prepare you for the final examinations. Each student must perform a minimum of 60 hours of independent practical training. Documentation in the form of health records will be covered in class. These 60 hours of independent practical training can be practised on a combination of people so the student may experience various health and foot conditions in their clients. A written and practical examination must be passed before certification is awarded. A student has one year from the in-class portion of their training to complete the practical exam and 3 months to complete their written exam and work book.
Course, exam and new membership fees are $895.00, plus all applicable taxes, effective September 1, 2022

 Hand Reflexology Certification Courses
RAC offers this dynamic training program in conjunction with Beryl Crane of the Crane School of Reflexology (UK).
The practice and art of hand reflexology goes back ninety years. However, the acu-points of hand acupressure have been used for thousands of years and are a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. These vital acu-points, together with the zone and reflex work of Dr. William H. Fitzgerald (the modern day authority on hand reflexology) and the RAC Methodology become a powerful therapy.
The importance of hands is reflected in the large area of nerve pathways that occupy the brain. The aim of hand reflexology is to stimulate reflexes and acu-points precisely by applying pressure and palpation to specific points. Many of these areas respond by increasing localized circulation and nerve impulses, rapidly spreading electrical activity from one reflex to another and to the central nervous System (CNS). The CNS responds by sending out a response impulse to organs, glands and muscles providing a natural and healing way of restoring balance to the whole body.
Hand Reflexology is an important adjunct to foot and ear reflexology. A hand session is performed on both hands and is approximately 45-60 minutes. A hand session is not only calming but it is a powerful tool that may be used on its own or in combination with an ear or foot reflexology session.
Our comprehensive Hand Reflexology Certification Course consists of 14 hours of classroom instruction and 30 documented case histories. A written and a practical examination must be passed before the student is awarded certification. The student has 6 months to complete the certification examinations. The classroom instruction includes the history and theory of hand reflexology, location and conditions, hand/nail observations and analysis, application and documentation.
Course Pre-requisite: This course is open to anyone who has completed 35 hours of theory from the RAC foot course or an equivalent from another RAC approved school. Documentation is required. Current membership in the Reflexology Association of Canada is necessary in order to complete the course.
Course and exam fees are $410 (plus GST or HST.)
Course fees include the Hand Reflexology Student Manual, large RAC Hand Chart and the Beryl Crane Acu-point Hand Chart.
Ear Reflexology Certification Course
In cooperation with Beryl Crane of the Crane School of Reflexology (UK) RAC offers this innovative training program.
Within the ear there exist rich nerve innervations and multiple connections with the central nervous system. Every part of the body has an auricular correspondence (similar to the theory of foot reflexology.) When the body loses its homeostasis, its corresponding point on the ear becomes painful or an irregularity is apparent. These signs of imbalance are not evident in a healthy person.
The ear is viewed as an inverted fetus with the head lying near the lower lobe and the hands and feet towards the upper rim with the body in between. There are hundreds of acupoints on the ear. Due to the safety and simplicity of this therapy, the World Health Organization standardized 90 of these points in 1982. At the International Council of Reflexologist biannual conference in 1999, Ear Reflexology was at the forefront in information as it is gaining in popularity around the world.
Ear Reflexology is a wonderful adjunct and natural progression for the Foot Reflexology practitioner. An ear session is very soothing and can be used on its own or at the beginning or end of a Foot Reflexology session. An ear session is 15 - 30 minutes and both ears are worked on at the same time using gentle palpation. Using Ear and Foot Reflexology together can be a profound and powerful combination for your clients.
Our innovative Ear Reflexology Certification Course consists of 12 hours of classroom instruction and 30 case histories. A written and practical examination must be passed before the student is awarded certification. The student has 6 months to complete the certification examinations. The classroom instruction includes the history of Ear Reflexology and Auricular Therapy, auricular anatomy, auricular points - location and conditions, auricular inspection, and practical application and documentation.
Course Pre-requisite: This course is open to anyone who has completed 35 hours of theory from the RAC foot course or an equivalent from another RAC approved school. Documentation is required.
Current membership in the Reflexology Association of Canada is necessary in order to complete the course.
Course and exam fees are $410 (plus GST or HST.)
Course fees include the Ear Reflexology student manual, Chinese ear model and large ear chart.
Advanced Modules
This program offers 12 Advanced Modules of Reflexology and Pathology. This program offers in-depth training in pathology - the medical classification system of disease and organ malfunction.
The 12 modules include:
- Gastro-Intestinal system
- Cardiovascular system
- Muscular-skeletal system
- Endocrine system
- Reproductive system
- Nervous system
- Immune system
- Wikler Foot Assessment
- Respiratory system
- Special senses
- Urinary system

Each Module consists of a Module booklet and an open book exam.
Each Module includes the following:
- an explanation of the anatomy and physiology of the organ system covered
- an explanation of the medical terminology involved in that system
- an explanation of the pathology associated with that system, in alphabetical order
- a conclusion addressing how Reflexology affects that organ system.
Each Module booklet includes a complete set of notes, an alphabetical reference for the pathologies involved, typical medical treatment of the pathologies, illustrations and a reference index.
Module booklets ($10 each) and module exams ($15 each) can be ordered from head office.
Note: This course is NOT diagnostic, but educational. It is designed to bridge the informational gap between western medical pathology and Reflexology, enabling the Reflexologist to better communicate with physicians and other health care professionals and to enhance their understanding of the nature of the medical condition from which their clients may suffer.
