Reflexology
This certificate program introduces students to reflexology, which is a non-invasive form of acupressure on the feet, hand and ears that holistically facilitates opening the channels for healing energy to circulate to all parts of the body. In accordance with national credentialing and membership standards, this certificate has increased its contact hours to well over 300 and successful graduates are eligible to take the national certification exam from the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB) and receive professional membership status with Reflexology Association of America (RAA); though it has been stipulated that 60%+ of the coursework for contact hours must be hands-on and <40% may be taken online. Please contact the Program Director for clarification of the contact hour calculation.
All courses in this certificate must be completed with a "C" or better to graduate.
