The home study workbook to be completed prior to the conclusion of the in-class segment. The 2 hour written examination follows the in-class study/instruction and is based on the HCP Reflexology Institute's training manual, but some questions may only be associated with other literature received in class. The passing grade is 80%.

Clinical practice involves the completion of 100 hours of self-regulated clinical practice or 60 case studies that must be completed within a 12 month period from the start date of the course. Clinical experience is required for the development of technique and to achieve a level of competency. This segment must be successfully completed prior to participating in the final practical examination that involves the application of a complete reflexology session on the feet in the presence of an instructor/examiner and an observer. The passing grade is 85%.
