Level 3 Sports Massage Course
No, you don’t need any other qualifications in order to start this course, or prior experience with massage. Our course will provide you with all the knowledge you need to become a excellent massage therapist.
This depends on how much work you want to put in, you complete the work at your own pace, so it is entirely up to you. Our assessing team are ready and waiting to mark your work and get you started in the industry. The average duration is between 4 – 6 months but it can be completed faster than this.
We have the option for an assessor to travel to you for an additional cost if you’re unable to come to us for any reason. The cost will be based on your location.
The workshops are designed to be best in-person. Obviously massage is tactile and you’ll be close and personal with your clients, so the teaching is easier to portray in-person. However you can attend the workshops via Zoom if you’re unable to travel to us.
They are organised throughout the year, frequently enough for all learners to attend all of them during your course.
This course is accredited by Active IQ meaning your qualification will be recognised wherever you go, even internationally.
Our courses have been designed to guide you every step of the way, with expertly delivered webinars throughout to provide extra guidance on the key topics.
We have a huge bank of video guides available, plus in-person and video workshops are available to give you extra help where needed. You can also contact your tutor 7 days a week for any support.
Our advanced digital learning platform gives you option to learn from the comfort of your own home or on the go.
