What you’ll qualify with.
The sports massage therapists with full diaries don’t just know the techniques. They know how to assess someone before they treat them and how to match every treatment to what they find, so clients feel the difference and book again.
Our course leads to the Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy, and teaches you to plan, deliver and evaluate treatments in a clinic or private practice. If you’re already a personal trainer, that’s a second service to sell on top of your training sessions, and we’ll show you how to use the techniques on the gym floor too.
You’ll earn the Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy (RQF), a national qualification listed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. It covers how muscles, joints and tissues work together, how movement and posture affect the body, a wide range of massage techniques, and professional, safe practice.
Your certificate is issued by Focus Awards, a government-regulated national awarding organisation.
CIMSPA is the chartered professional body for UK sport and physical activity, and they’ve awarded us their highest provider rating: ‘Enhancing’. It’s also recognised by the Sports Therapy Association.
You don’t need any previous fitness qualifications. The practical elements are hands-on.
You’ll be assessed on the theory online and upload your portfolio. How and where you complete your practical depends on how you study — see ways to qualify. You’ll also complete 10 hours of sports massage treatments away from your clinic, record them in your Sports Massage Log Book, and submit it with your portfolio.
