To become a member of the Association of Reflexologists students must attain a Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology from the Awarding Body Consortium (awarding body). Students who have already studied reflexology with another awarding body and which does not meet all the criteria set by the ABC will have their previous knowledge taken into account allowing some exemption. Students will therefore become members of the AoR in less time and having fewer assessments.

Each new student will be individually assessed by an accredited tutor to identify areas that need additional study. Where, for example, case studies or knowledge of A&P meet the required standard, these elements will be accepted and should not need to be repeated. Students need to pass all components of the course including a theory exam. Students will attend a full time course with a reduced attendance.

An initial indication of what will be required to meet ABC Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology performance specification will be made, and the appropriate action recommended.

On joining the course, students will become Student Members of the AoR, and on passing the qualification can upgrade to Full Membership in exactly the same way as full course students.

Course Fee

This will depend on the amount of knowledge the student already has. However the minimum time set by the ABC is a further 40 hours, and it is usual that at least 60 hours is needed, this compares with 100 hours for full time students. The cost therefore will vary and be in proportion of the full fee of £1175. A fixed fee for the amount of teaching will be agreed at the outset.

In addition Student Membership of the AoR is £36 and the examination fee is £75.75, both these costs being subject to change by the Association of Reflexologists and the Awarding Body Consortium.
