PR Affiliated Schools

Professional Reflexology Affiliated Schools are really taking off with five new schools and twelve new venues offering Level Five for Autumn 2013.

From Edinburgh to Exeter, Newcastle to Littlehampton There are now very few areas where a student will have to travel more than 25 miles to access training at this level.

The Level Five Centralia qualification incorporating Agored Cymru accredited units was designed to improve standards, however it will also help to stop the public confusion over reflexology training that has been brought about by the short course culture that has hit level three.
You may recall our campaign last summer where in a poll of members 100% voted for a minimum number of contact hours for training as a Reflexologist. We have asked other Reflexology only member associations to join our initiative. Please see the PR policy statement.

Reflexology Qualification

A number of Members have told us that they have read that Level five is not a qualification.

Professional Reflexology would like to confirm that Level Five reflexology is indeed a nationally recognised Training Programme, the full designation being ‘Centralia qualification incorporating Agored Cymru accredited units’

Professional Reflexology Membership Criteria

Professional Reflexology is proud to have the highest criteria for membership of any Reflexology Association 

In order to emphasise the standing of our Members as the top ranked Reflexologists in the UK we would like to make clear our policy regarding membership acceptance.

Our rules are: -
An applicant may be accepted for membership if trained either at Level 5, with a PR Affiliated School or on a nationally recognised level three diploma course. To qualify such level 3 courses MUST be run over a minimum of nine months and provide a minimum of 100 hours contact/face to face/ classroom tuition.
If this is not the case then experience and length of time in practice may be taken into account. An applicant may be accepted for membership following achievement of a nationally recognised qualification plus 3 years in practice.

The letters PRM after our Members names is synonymous with the highest quality of training. These letters cannot be acquired easily, without considerable effort and a high degree of expertise.

In view of the continued proliferation of short, or fast track courses available at level 3 we must reiterate that we do not, and never will, accept as Members graduates trained by this method.
