What is the difference between IIHHT and VCTC?

RE: What is the difference between IIHHT and VCTC?

Hi Babe,

My understanding is - IIHHT are the designatory letters you can stick after your name when you are a member of FHT and have a qualification accepted by them - usually a VTCT qualification. You don't have to be qualified to join FHT - you can join as a student member - but you can't used any of the designatory initials.

The discussions about which course is best centre more around ITEC and VTCT depending on what you are actually wanting to study. There are different trainining organisations offering different courses e.g. AoR for reflexology.

Hope this helps

The above is correct, VTCT and IIHHT are in bed with each other. There is no difference. What you should consider is whether to take a VTCT course, an ITEC course or an AOR course. I would go for AOR if I could, depending on location and cost. I couldnt so had to do another ITEC. Check out the course, ask the students and see if anybody you know can recommend somewhere. This is being discussed on the thread 'Perception of ITEC APandM' currently. There are many good VTCT courses and some are appalling. You need to get wised up and check them out before committing. Good luck.

I would certainly agree with Candie on checking out the quality of the courses.

I don't do reflexology, but I know our college does VTCT, but follows a lot of the AoR requirements for the case studies - it seems to be a thing with my college - they look at the VTCT requirements as the minimum and then build on them to produce courses they feel more comfortable with.

It may seem hard at the time - but I think its sensible.

Try and see if anyone on HP can recommend colleges local to you.
