We have the Honour and Distinction of being the VERY FIRST Foot Care Academy in Alberta to be Approved by the CLPNA's Council.
Edmonton Foot Care Academy understands how busy and hectic life can be, and because of that we wanted to offer you another option. We are pleased to announce the launch of our Online Course in January 2020; we worked with a technology company on the forefront of online training and learner verification and are very proud of the online course we offer.
Regardless of which Learning Stream you choose, Classroom Led or Online, ALL courses end with In Person Practicum.
We are pleased to confirm we offer our practicum throughout Alberta.
