intro
Our Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage is a perfect qualification for those wanting to treat clients’ injuries and aid rehabilitation. The role of a sports massage therapist is as much about preventing common injuries as it is treating them. Because of this, massage therapists have to be incredible flexible and adaptive in their approach – every client will be different and will need to be treated with equal care.
Becoming a qualified sports massage therapist will enable you to become self-employed and develop your own clinic or practice, or work within an existing establishment. Alternatively, qualified personal trainers can offer massage therapy as an additional element to their training. This not only brings in another source of income, but can make a personal trainer even more marketable.
The course is certified by YMCA Awards and delivered via our blended learning model. This involves a period of home study using bespoke learning materials followed by practical weekend attendance and assessment. At any and every stage of the course, students are able to access unlimited support and guidance from our e-learning system and their dedicated Learner Support Tutor.

student reviews
Excellent course, very enjoyable
2015-06-23I was nervous about how the course would unfold and what it would entail. I was especially worried about the physical assessments. Leading up to these though the tutor was great and gave me the right tools to do it comfortably.
Gym Instructor Training
2014-11-03I found the whole experience of following the Gym Instructor training easy to navigate and well supported. Admin staff were efficient in getting me signed onto the course and getting materials out in a timely fashion and the support tutors were enthusiastic, attentive and knowledgeable throughout.
