Normally carried out as a 4 year degree at an accredited training school. However it is still possible to complete the basic full time study course in 3 years.

Due to poor changes in the law you may find Chiropodists who are currently working quite legally who have only carried out a correspondence course of training. Ask yourself - would you let yourself be treated by a Dentist, Optician, or Doctor who claimed they learned their profession doing a postal course?
Before July 2005 if a Practicioner was not a STATE REGISTERED CHIROPODIST he or she could not work in any N.H.S. Clinic or Hospital or work for them on the Community as a Chiropodist or Podiatrist - After 2005 all someone had to do was prove they had worked privately as a Chiropodist for two of the preceeding five years to be able to continue calling themselves a Chiropodist or Podistrist regardless of what if any training they had.
