Foot Health Professional Theory Course

FHP Theory

The emphasis of our training is on a sound theoretical background, upon which we build with intensive clinical tuition. We provide students with real “hands-on” experience, treating patients with the conditions they are most likely to see in practice. Students have the benefit of personal tuition and are able to consult with a tutor on all aspects of the course and their future career.

Students study with us using a proven teaching method called “blended learning” consisting of specially written texts and videos and online resources, along with guidance from the Tutor’s and staff. The Smae Institute provides all the course material that you need, which includes a variety of textbooks, access to our FHP e-Learning website, theory modules (online or paper based), Portfolio Tasks, a number of Forums where you can interact with other students, online Journals and a personal student document folder.

We are the only Credit Rated Foot Health Course in the UK. Our course is Credit Rated by Queen Margaret University and carries 60 Higher Education Credits at Level 4. We are the only Institute to offer an FHP Diploma at this level. Our Diploma is equivalent to half of the first year of an undergraduate degree program.
