Hi there I am a new member to healthy pages and I thought I would ask opinions on a course I have just completed. I have just gained another qualification this time in Reflexology. I studied at a local college under ITEC. This year it had changed so 100 treatments were required this consisted of 10 actual case studies (treating 10 people a total of 4 times in each, I realise many of you will know what case studies are all about anyway - groan!) and then another 60 treatments on as many different people as possible and these to be written up in more basic way including foot charts etc. The plus side for some was there was no written exam(multiple choice). Im trying to find out if anyone else who has just completed this struggled to fit in all these treatment as some in my course did. (my course was only 25 weeks) Ive heard rumours ITEC are now of the mind that this is mayne too much to ask and are looking at lessening the treatment total, but as I say this is only hearsay. ALSO our case studies and treatments were not looked at just glanced over for approx 2 minutes (all that work!!). We were all disappointed in our marks, some of them were 16 points lower than their moch results and others got 81% a credit none the less which is to be proud of but it was then marked down to a 'pass' because the A&P result that by the way was taken 2 years ago was then taken into account and this was only a pass so the final result was actually less than what she achieved. This is really annoying as surley you should be marked on your actual performance on the day and for Reflexology, and not an exam that you did 2 years ago, which was actually the first exam/course sat after 15 years of being out of education. I find that unfair to knock students down after all it was a Reflexology exam not A&P!! Are there others out there disappointed in their exam marks who have just finished ITEC Reflexology?? Im qualified now and nothing can change that and I love Reflexology but as a class we were all wondering how others felt, did we just have an Examiner who was in a bad mood because you are at their mercy really and as the guinea pigs for 100 treatment how did you do! Sincerely hope you all passed!! xx Welcome any replies even from ITEC examiners - good to get a varied response!

confused!!???

Wow this is amazing, they say you need to see someone on average 4 times? What form of treatment is this?

Sorry you have lost me what is your comment about I dont understand it.

The treatment is reflexology. The case studies consisted of treating 10 individual people. Each individual person having 4 separate sessions/treatments.

Can you elaborate on what your comment is all about many thanks!:)
