Education & Events
Certification Requirements
The standard for professional-level recognition by both FAR and the National Reflexology Association of America is 300 hours of education in foot, hand, and/or ear reflexology, 180 hours of which (60%) must have been taken in a live classroom setting. After completing initial certificate training, FAR highly recommends that graduates sit for national board-certification from the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB.net), the only national non-profit, and independent reflexology testing agency in the United States.
Introductory Classes
Many reflexology educators offer weekend opportunities for individuals to check out their level of interest in reflexology. Attendees do not leave these trainings as certified reflexologists, nor can they ethically or legally even call themselves a reflexologist. They do receive a basic introduction to the art with a small amount of time and money invested to check out whether or not they want to pursue a career as a board-certified reflexologist.
Continuing Education
There are many ways in which to further one's education once certified. State and national conferences and specialty focus trainings are numerous and fascinating.
