Student Feedback:

“As a nurse, this was the most enjoyable course and clinical I’ve completed so far in my career. Due to life circumstances, I’ve not yet opened my own foot care business, but it is on the horizon in the next few years. I highly recommend this course if you are interested in learning about nursing foot care and want a solid knowledge and clinical base to grow from.”
— Amy B.

Refund Policy

Theory Portion
Due to the nature of our online theoretical content delivery, no refunds are available once a participant has logged into a course.

Clinical Portion
A significant amount of planning and coordination goes into preparing each clinical session. We typically welcome 60–100 clients, which requires collaboration with volunteers, nursing staff, and careful management of instruments, supplies, and venue requirements. Clinical sessions are scheduled for full cohort enrollment, and your course fee secures your seat.

If you are unable to attend your assigned clinical date:

You must provide a minimum of 45 days’ written notice so we can make necessary adjustments.
You will be assigned a new clinical date based on future availability; however, we cannot guarantee when that will be. Note: theory & clinical must be completed within 1 year.

If you fail to attend, cancel with less than 45 days’ notice, or do not successfully complete your clinical, you must re-register at your own expense: $995 for a 3-day clinical
