Dear Candidate,
The National Chiropody Institute (NCI) was founded in 1928, rue du Marché Saint-Honoré.
Eighty years later, the school is moving into new premises at rue Sainte-Anne in the centre of Paris. For eight decades, directors and lecturers have been continuously making advances in the field of Chiropody making this school a reference for the profession: the NCI is the only school that specialises solely in teaching Chiropody.

Once admitted in a year group of 120 students after success in the competitive examination, you may take advantage of the high-quality infrastructure: a lecture hall with 120 seats, treatment rooms with cutting-edge technology equipment as well as consultation rooms where you will be trained in the most advanced techniques.

The NCI will allow you to go beyond traditional Chiropody. During the three years of studies, we will teach you the art of treating the foot but we also allow you to address any musculoskeletal (knee, hip and back).
The consultations will provide you with the possibility to practice sports and other types of chiropody.

On a broader scope that goes beyond foot care, students have the option of doing an additional year of part-time training (one weekend per month) after obtaining the State Diploma. This leads to a European Certificate in Medical and Sports Chiropody which prepares students to treat locomotor dysfunctions.

In parallel with your training, the NCI will open doors to a rich community life through different actions carried out by the Students' Committee and the Sports Committee: organisation of an orientation weekend, an end-of-year ball, organised sports events, etc.

In partnership with the Students' Committee, the school administration organises a humanitarian trip for about fifteen 3rd year students to Morocco each year, aimed at providing care for an underprivileged population. This trip is a unique experience for students.

Choosing the NCI means choosing the chiropody of the future with the assurance of being prepared for the working world and having a professional practice rich with promise.Good luck on the entrance exam!

Sincerely,


Dominique NUYTENS
Director of the NCI
