Committed to developing you
Training4Feet is part of the The SMAE Institute which has been training individuals in Foot Care excellence for 100 years, with our qualified practitioners successfully setting up their own practice/clinic in the private foot care field. We are the only establishment to run a University Credit Rated Foot Health Course in the UK, which is Credit Rated by Queen Margaret University.
Why choose the SMAE Institute?
The SMAE Institute is the original Foot Health Institute (established in 1919) and is creating new careers every day by training Foot Health Professionals.
We run the only University Credit Rated Foot Health Course in the UK, which is Credit Rated by Queen Margaret University. We offer unbeatable support to our students when studying with us, who have access to our dedicated Tutor Chat 7 days a week (including bank holidays) to discuss any queries they have with their studies.
Proud past, exciting future
Over the last 100 years, The SMAE Institute has continued to expand and evolve, benefitting both our students and members, and we don’t intend to stop!
Most recently, our second brand new, state-of-the-art Clinic and Lecture Theatre was finished, and we announced our exciting collaboration with Queen Margaret University which has seen the implementation of the Diploma in Higher Education (Podiatry Assistant) course. Our Students qualifying as FHP's are eligable to study this new course, should they wish.



Theory Course
The Theory element of the Foot Health course consists of 12 Modules each with an assessment and Portfolio.
You can work at your own pace, but we do not recommend completion of more than 1 Module per fortnight. The Module assessments completed online give you immediate feedback.
Clinical Course
Upon successful completion of the Theory element you are then welcomed to The SMAE Institute for 2 weeks Clinical Training.
You will gain hands-on experience, reinforcing your theory and giving you the core skills with which to work in the world of Foot Health and meet people from all walks of life.
