    The College Celebrates its First Diploma Graduates!!

    NEWS RELEASE:

    Five proud and newly trained foot care practitioners have graduated with flying colours from the first Diploma in Foot Care course at The College of Foot Care Practitioners in King’s Lynn.

    Says course leader Elizabeth Dutton, “Up until now we have been running shorter courses for therapists who wanted to add basic foot care to their skills. Our Diploma course, accredited by the NCFE, came about as a result of popular demand and we have our first five graduates!”

    The Diploma, covering anatomy and physiology, a wide range of practical skills and a bespoke business and marketing plan, means the graduates are now ready to set up in business.

    Kerry Thomas, one of the graduates says, “It was a fun, interesting and intensive course; I can’t believe all the things we have learned! I already have several clients booked and am looking forward to it all taking off.”

    Will the Diploma become a regular feature? Says Elizabeth, “Absolutely! There is a shortage of foot care practitioners, so we’ll be doing our bit to help that demand. We’ll be running a few per year, with the next one starting late January.” She adds, “Your age and background don’t matter – it’s a truly equal opportunities career!”

    People can see more about the new graduates and courses at www.tcfcp.co.uk.
