Cosmetic foot care: working at the interface between medicine and cosmetics

The courses are aimed at newcomers as well as professionals from the manicure, cosmetics and other beauty sectors. Classes are usually held in small groups and, in addition to theoretical instruction, there is a lot of practical practice on models. The courses teach the basic skills needed to become self-employed in cosmetic foot care or pedicure. Graduates learn about foot anatomy and possible deformities, are able to design the treatment process and know how to set up and run their own studio. After successfully completing the course, it is possible to obtain a diploma from the Swiss Foot Care Association SFPV or the Swiss Professional Association for Foot Care BVFS.

Would you like to help other people achieve more beautiful, well-groomed and healthy feet through your foot care training?

Foot care training: We need our feet every day, they are constantly stressed and challenged. That's why they need special care. Foot care is often offered in beauty salons, massage parlors or similar establishments. It includes various services such as foot baths, callus removal, corn treatment, foot reflexology, pedicure and much more. Learn everything you need to know about our feet and how to care for them in a foot care course.

After completing your diploma, you can apply your knowledge in a beauty salon, nail studio or similar establishment. There is also medical pedicure, which primarily prevents age-related complaints. These services are often offered to older people as they are no longer able to cut their own toenails and a foot massage also improves their general well-being. Information and interesting offers from first-class schools for foot care training can be found on the portal for education: www.ausbildung-weiterbildung.ch - the largest education portal in Switzerland. You will also find other valuable tips and services such as free educational guides, for example on the subject of "Beauty".

Questions and answers

In further training courses in cosmetic foot care, you will learn how to advise patients, for example on foot complaints, how to apply foot baths and foot massages and how to carry out nail and foot treatments. The painting and care of toenails is also taught in a pedicure course, as are often various wellness treatments. You will also learn the essentials about the anatomy of the feet, hygiene and the equipment and instruments to be used.

Basic courses in the field of cosmetic foot care are suitable for career changers as well as those returning to the field, but also for massage therapists, medical professionals, beauticians or people from the wellness and beauty sector. Previous knowledge is therefore not essential for training at a pedicure school.

A cosmetic pedicurist performs the following tasks in pedicure jobs:

  • Take care of your feet with a relaxing foot bath and scrub
  • Shorten nails
  • Cuticle treatment
  • Remove calluses
  • Foot massage
  • Embellish nails with color and nail art creations on request
  • sell nourishing and beautifying products for nails and feet

The terms "pedicure" or "pedicure" refer to cosmetic foot care that treats and cares for healthy and "unproblematic" feet. Podiatry or medical foot care, on the other hand, deals with foot problems such as ingrown nails, diabetic feet, corns and nail loss. A foot care training course can therefore focus on cosmetic and/or medical issues.

As each school sets its own course dates, a chiropody course can be attended as a block course, a weekend seminar, an evening course or a day course, depending on the training provider. In principle, you can therefore continue to work and, depending on the type of course you choose, complete your training as a chiropodist in your free time.

Depending on the school, a pedicure training course can last between two and 20 days. Please enquire directly with the beauty schools or pedicure schools about the scope and content of the course so that you can be sure that you will actually receive the pedicure training you want.

It is an advantage if participants in the foot care course already have experience in cosmetics, wellness, care or healthcare, but this is not a prerequisite.

There are schools where you do not bring any models and which provide you with 20 or more foot models. However, there are also courses where participants have to organize their own models and bring them to each lesson. Always ask about this detail before booking a course so that you know what to expect!

For federal recognition of foot care training, further training as a podiatrist with a federal certificate of competence must be completed; a certificate course is not sufficient.

You should have these personal qualities for cosmetic foot care training with a diploma:

  • careful and clean way of working
  • Sense of hygiene
  • Service orientation
  • Be customer-oriented
  • Beauty flair
