There are two elements to our FHP course, Theory & Clinical Training. The Theory course consists of 12 modules and, once completed, this is followed by two weeks of Clinical Training.
You can enrol and pay for the Theory only to begin with at just £592 and can pay for the clinical training when you are ready, or you can pay for the full course at just £1,911 with the option of spreading the cost over 12 months.
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.
