The Entrance Test Program has been created to provide a way for reflexologists who wish to be registered through the RRCO to do so.
If you are a reflexologist or know of a reflexologist who has studied at a non-registered school, outside the province or in another country, this program is the ideal way for them to become a member of this association. This program is also valid for anyone who was a member of the RRCO or came from an approved school but has not been registered with us for over a two-year period.
