This Foot Reflexology Course will prepare you to challenge the Reflexology Association of Canada Board Exam to be certified as an RCRT. (This is not mandatory and additional fees with the association will apply).

When completed this course, you will be presented with a certificate of completion. With that certificate, you can practice reflexology.

To be an RCRT (Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist) there are a few additional steps:

1. You would have to become a member of the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC – I recommend after the written exam is completed).

2. Submit your certificate and transcripts to RAC. Once accepted, you would have to write an open book board exam and pass with 80% to be approved.

3. You will be an RCRT. This means that clients that come to you can submit their receipts to reimbursed for sessions if their work plans cover reflexology or they have a health spending account.

With this class you will have the following benefits:

• Get access to an online membership site filled with videos, tools and worksheets designed to support you through this learning journey.
