Which foot health course?

What qualifications do I need to be a Foot Health Practitioner?

There are a lot of foot health/care courses out there and the course level really depends on what you want going forward. Most foot health courses accept applicants with no former qualifications to enroll, the only requirement being to read and write in English.
