Why should you study at our Academy?
The International Academy of Reflexology & Meridian Therapy (IARAMT) has been providing a high standard of professional training and development in the field of Reflexology and Meridian Therapy for 35 years. With latest technology developments and our new Virtual Learning Environment, never before has the training been so advanced and flexible as it is today.
IARAMT is registered by the Department of Higher Education & Training (DHET) as a provider of a Diploma in Therapeutic Reflexology. Our programme is accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE) and listed with the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA). Upon completion, our graduates are able to register themselves as professional therapists with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa (AHPCSA).
IARAMT was established in October, 1983 by world-renowned author and Reflexologist; Inge Dougans. As the Academy has matured and grown through the years, the programme, our teaching materials and delivery methods have been constantly developed and modernised. All our lecturers are highly qualified and experienced in their specialised fields.
IARAMT offers a stand-alone Diploma in Therapeutic Reflexology. Our aim is to deliver the highest standard of training and development in the field of Reflexology and Meridian Therapy. The incorporation of the Chinese Meridian and Five Elements theories into our programme has added a unique and dynamic approach that has earned us a high reputation world-wide.
IARAMT officially delivers the Diploma in Therapeutic Reflexology via Distance E-Learning. The programme curriculum has been divided into four modules (two modules per academic year). This modular system offers our students the flexibility to enrol for each module individually as opposed to restricting enrolment for the full programme only.
IARAMT offers students the benefit of interest-free, pay-as-you-go payment plans for each module with no additional fees added. A deposit is required and the remaining balance can be paid off in monthly instalments. Students may also enrol module-per-module as they progress through the programme and as such do not commit themselves to the full programme from the outset.
All students become a member of the IARAMT “family” and our staff are always willing to offer their guidance and support. The IARAMT Alumni Association has been established to form a supportive, interactive and communicative platform for all registered Therapeutic Reflexologists in order to unify local therapists and promote strength and excellence within the profession.

“After a number of years of research and opinions of qualified therapists as to where I should study Reflexology – there was only one option! The resounding answer was with Inge Dougans – she is disciplined, professional, tough, fair, vastly knowledgeable and experienced, and you will have a proper recognised qualification registered with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa.”
