Mikäli työskentelet terveysalalla jalkaterveyteen liittyen, voit mahdollisesti suorittaa kurssin osittain omassa työpaikassasi. Tällöin sovellat mahdollisuuksien mukaan työtehtäviäsi jalkaterapian näkökulmaan. Sovit opettajan kanssa osa-alueista jotka voit suorittaa työssäsi ja loput osa-alueet suoritat verkkoympäristössä. Kurssin lopuksi annat koululla näytön vastaavalle opettajalle.
