Since November 2009 I have been offering classes in foot care. Both the practical and theoretical training are taught one on one rather than in a group setting.
Intensive course
1 week
8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
1 week of homework to prepare for the test,
then the test.
Morning course

In addition, in the afternoons I offer the opportunity to gain additional practical experience in my office on a voluntary basis and in consultation.
The foot care course consists of theoretical and practical portions.
