On completion of this course you will receive two qualifications:

Qualification 1: Sports Injuries Diploma issued by Stonebridge Associated Colleges, entitling you to use the letters SAC. Dip. (Sports Injuries)

Qualification 2: ASET Level 3 Sports Injuries Award

This Course leads to an ASET Level 3 Award certificate for successful learners. That means that it is independently accredited at a level of learning equivalent to level 3 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (in which GCSEs are at levels 1 and 2 and A levels are at level 3). For more information on this award, click here.

The Award has been designed by the learning provider to meet specific learners' or employers' requirements and as such is not listed as a qualification on NQF. While the duration, content or assessment may vary from similar national qualifications, in accrediting the programme at level 3, ASET attests that its learning outcomes are at an equivalent level to a level 3 national qualification.

ASET is a recognised National Awarding Body.

This specialist course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how sporting injuries can occur, the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and management of such injuries.

The course will also investigate the principles behind the rehabilitation of sports injuries.

By using a variety of techniques and approaches, the therapist will provide a valuable service to clients in this specialist area, either on a freelance basis or as part of their employment in a health and fitness facility.
