Self-paced online work lets you begin the 80-hour online class and spread it out to fit your busy schedule. After completing the virtual presentations, you will have 6 months to enroll in the scheduled practical section.
Part I of our Pedorthist Certificate Program is self-paced virtual learning, designed to prepare you to successfully take the certification exam. ABC has implemented new standards of quality pedorthic education. The AOPS program strives to ensure your competency in each of the required learning domains:

- Implementation of treatment plan
- Patient follow-up
- Practice management
- Professional ethics & compliance
You will begin with a thorough review of human anatomy with focus on the anatomy of the feet. Intense study of the conditions and pathologies which will affect the feet is included in the curriculum as well as in-depth study of diabetes.
Treatment options, shoe and orthotic theory, custom design and laboratory practicums provide the student with thorough knowledge of the relationship between the foot and devices.
In order to be awarded the pre-certification, you must satisfactorily pass the program intermediary tests and quizzes, then pass the final exam with a minimum score of 70%. We are here to help all along the way.
To be eligible to take the ABC or BOC pedorthic exam, you must meet the following criteria:
- Possess a high school diploma, GED or college degree
