Which Accredited Sports Massage Course is Right for You?
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to expand your expertise, our accredited Sports Massage Therapy qualifications offer a clear path into the industry and beyond.
Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy
This is the starting point for anyone new to sports massage therapy. No prior experience is needed. You’ll learn how to assess clients, deliver effective treatments, and support recovery from everyday aches, pains, and minor injuries.
This qualification is awarded by Active IQ and meets nationally recognised standards, so you can:
• Begin working as a Sports Massage Therapist
• Secure insurance
• Start taking on clients
• Work independently or as part of a team
Level 4 Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy
For those already qualified at Level 3, the Level 4 Certificate allows you to build a more advanced skillset. You’ll learn to recognise and treat common patterns of dysfunction and work confidently with clients who have pre-diagnosed injuries or muscular imbalances.
Many therapists use this qualification to deepen their knowledge, specialise their practice, and offer more targeted support to clients.
Study Your Way: Part-Time or Full-Time
Part-time study gives you immediate access to all your learning materials, so you can start studying from home as soon as you’re ready. You’ll be supported throughout by a dedicated tutor, and there’s no cap on how much help you can ask for. Once you’ve completed the theory elements, you can book your practical training at one of our UK venues.
Full-time study takes place at one of our UK training centres, where you’ll be guided through both the theory and practical elements in a classroom setting with hands-on tuition from our expert team.
No matter which study route you choose, you’ll benefit from:
• Nationally recognised qualifications
• Industry-leading tutor support
• Practical, career-focused training
• A flexible, learner-first experience
We’re here to support you every step of the way – from your first day of study through to graduation and beyond.
