Why choose the SMAE Institute?
With a legacy dating back to 1919, The SMAE Institute is the original Foot Health Institute and has been at the forefront of training Foot Health Professionals for over a century. What sets them apart is their singular position as the only establishment in the UK to offer a University Credit Rated Foot Health Course. Students receive exceptional support throughout their studies, with access to a dedicated Tutor Chat 7 days a week, including bank holidays, to discuss any queries they have. The programme encompasses all aspects of foot care, and equips students with the practical skills necessary to establish their private practices, and continues to support successful students once they become Members and start practicing.
At The SMAE Institute, quality education is the cornerstone of our legacy, and we continue to provide unparalleled training to individuals (students and members alike) seeking to pursue a career in foot health.
Proud past, exciting future
Over the last 105 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 BSc (Hons) Podiatry Degree Programme. Our Students qualifying as FHP's are eligible to go on to study this degree course should they wish, and more information can be found in the Prospectus.
Theory Course
The Theory element of the Foot Health course consists of 12 Modules each with a module assessment (consisting of 25 multiple choice questions) and a Portfolio Task (a short essay based on each module).
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. We run our clinical training every 2 weeks throughout the year meaning you can choose the dates you would like to attend so you can fit it in and around personal commitments.
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.
