About the Level 3 Sports Massage Certificate

In present society there is a growing need for professional sports masseuses and by studying a distance learning course with learndirect, you could be joining them. This course can be studied alongside your current career and has been designed to help therapists channel their previous massage experience into a sports setting.

If you want to be a sports massage therapist, then our sports massage home learning course is the perfect way to get started. The material is spread across 10 online modules. Each engaging unit covers a different area of sports massage. The topics included range from basic massage skills and skills for specific body parts to sports injury massage.

Who should study this course?

This course is aimed at individuals with an interest in training to become sports massage therapists. If you are already a qualified masseuse this course may help you to sharpen your skills and broaden your opportunities.

At learndirect, we do not ask that you have any prior experience or any previous qualifications before enrolling on one of our courses. All we request is that you have a way to access our online portal and that you have the motivation to engage in home study.

What happens after the course?

By the end of this course you will have a broad understanding of sports massage theory. If you enjoyed studying, you may decide to progress to university level education. Many students choose to study sports science or physiotherapy at university and go on to gain professional accreditation.

If you want to find work right away, you can use your new found skills to secure a job. If you already have a job as a masseuse, these skills may help to develop your career. Jobs related to this course include but are not limited to:

Level 3 Sports Massage Certificate of Achievement

The course has been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme. This means that learndirect has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The course itself has been designed learndirect to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

The Quality Licence Scheme is part of the Skills and Education Group, a charitable organisation that unites education and skills-orientated organisations that share similar values and objectives. With more than 100 years of collective experience, the Skills and Education Group’s strategic partnerships create opportunities to inform, influence and represent the wider education and skills sector.

The Skills and Education Group also includes two nationally recognised awarding organisations; Skills and Education Group Awards and Skills and Education Group Access. Through our awarding organisations we have developed a reputation for providing high-quality qualifications and assessments for the education and skills sector. We are committed to helping employers, organisations and learners cultivate the relevant skills for learning, skills for employment, and skills for life.

Our knowledge and experience of working within the awarding sector enables us to work with training providers, through the Quality Licence Scheme, to help them develop high-quality courses and/or training programmes for the non-regulated market.
