Which foot health course?

What qualifications do I need to be a Foot Health Practitioner?

There are a lot of foot health/care courses out there and the course level really depends on what you want going forward. Most foot health courses accept applicants with no former qualifications.to enrol, the only requirement being to read and write in English.

I've provided a list of Accredited Foot health courses that you can explore to find the right fit for you.  

*Accredited courses make sure that you, the potential student gets a good quality education which is approved by a professional body.

Message me here if you know of any others I've missed and I'll add it to the list!
