THE QUALIFICATION

The course leads to award of the

Diploma in Foot Health Practice

A career grade qualification that enables you to
work safely and competently and succeed in self-employed private practice.

The accreditation of this College is 14 years
of effective training and the ongoing success of our practitioners

!! IMPORTANT !!

ASET, NCFE, and other accreditations 'related' to the
National Qualifications Framework (NQF) have
no meaning whatsoever to the self-employed
Do not be mislead!

They are third body college-purchased accreditations - not qualifications

They can make no difference at all to your success as a practitioner

What matters in practice is
sound technique, clinical skill and business know-how.

The "Higher" Diploma in Foot Health Practice

The above three courses, if completed in addition to your original Diploma in Foot Health Practice, lead to award of the Higher Diploma in Foot Health Practice and will gain a Fellowship by the Alliance of Private Sector Practitioners in recognition of academic achievement of a minimum of 1,080 hours of study, based on a notional 30 hours per module.

Those wishing to pursue a BSc (Hons) Podiatry degree can do so by direct approach to a university. Universities will always look at the individual and any relevant prior learning they may have. Several of this College's graduates, having gained their FHP Diploma with this College, have already gained access to the Podiatry degree having followed this route.

Undertaking the Higher Diploma adds strength and value to your original FHP qualification and broadens professional horizons.
