Distance learning course of 10 lessons

On completion of this course you will receive two qualifications:

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

Qualification 2: ASET Level 3 Sports Massage 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.

Many body masseurs are now applying their skills and techniques into the sporting arena with great success.

This type of treatment is finding a niche market in the health and fitness facilities, and many therapists are offering this service both as part of their employment and on a freelance basis.

This course is designed to enable therapists to have a greater understanding and appreciation of the specific needs of sports participants in the preparation for and recovery from activity.

The course will also investigate the value of sports massage in the early detection and the prevention of sports injuries in addition to being a valuable tool in the rehabilitation of such conditions.
