Is This The Right Career Change For You?

Do I Need Any Experience To Join?

No prior experience is needed, the course is designed for beginners as well as fitness or therapy professionals wanting to upskill. We start with the basics, build your foundation, and progress onto advanced sports massage techniques step by step.

You must be at least 16 years of age to participate.

Can I Make Good Money Doing This?

Yes, sports massage can be a great income source. Many therapists charge between £50–£75 per hour session and once you build a small client base, you can earn a steady part-time or full-time income working privately.

Alternatively, this skill makes you desirable to local clinics where you can take on an employed role as a Sports Massage Therapist!

How Long Does It Take To Complete?

The course schedule is designed in a way to allow you to complete within 10 weeks; however the beauty of our flexible approach to teaching is that if you need to extend the learning period, this is easy to do!

We’ve made the course as flexible as possible, so you can study around work or other life commitments.

Will I Get A Recognised Qualification?

Yes! You’ll receive a Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy upon completion. This qualification is recognised by the Complementary and Natural Care Council (CNHC) and the General Council for Massage Therapies (GCMT).

This allows you to work with athletes, in gyms, clinics, or even start your own sports massage business.

Can I Pay In Instalments?

Absolutely. We offer flexible payment options to make it manageable and help spread the cost. This is usually organised as 1 initial deposit, followed by 2x monthly instalments, however we can discuss your needs and create a payment plan that works for you.

The full course cost must be paid before we apply for your certificate.

Is Sports Massage Really In Demand?

Yes, massively. With more people taking their health seriously, getting active, training and competing, demand for sports massage is growing fast.

From gyms and physio/massage clinics to sports teams and private practice, there’s a constant need for skilled therapists who understand the body and recovery.

What If I’m Not Very Strong, Can I Still Do This?

Definitely. Sports massage isn’t about brute strength, it’s about technique, body positioning, and leverage. We teach you how to use your body mechanics efficiently so you can work effectively without straining yourself.

What If I Have A Learning Difference?

Many people who have been through traditional school worry that they may struggle with the exams. We understand learners have very different needs and accommodate that. The company is led by someone who truly understands that neurodiversity and learning differences can lead to exceptional problem solving skills and we will support you to make sure you get the result you want.

If you have ADHD you are 300% more likely to start your own business.

There's a pattern of people with dyslexia (such as Richard Branson) and neurodivergence (Elon Musk) choosing to make their own rules. We will help you learn what's needed to pass and there will be lots of practice so you understand the assessment procedure.

What If I Learn All These Skills And Can't Get Clients?

This is a common fear and something we have thought about a lot. That's why we will pop you into an alumni group and run regular courses to help support the business skills you will need to help you succeed
