How to Become a Sports Massage Therapist with Entire Training

When deciding which sports massage course best suits your needs, it’s important to take ample time to consider all of the variables. To maximise your opportunities, ensure that the course you select provides you with all the support needed to make a success of it and is accredited by the relevant regulatory body. • First you need to find the right training provider, what does your training centre offer you throughout your training, and how much support will you receive? • What qualifications do I need to become a sports masseuse? • Is your sports masseuse qualification CIMSPA accredited? • What learning option is right for me, online or face to face? • How long will it take you to complete your sports massage course?

• Once you have chosen a sports masseuse course that suits your needs, it’s time to get enrolled onto the course. • Learners will receive a welcome email, a video induction, access to our e-learning platform, and a support call from a tutor to make sure you’re are all set up on your course. • Typically our sports masseuse qualifications can take 4-6 weeks, but you do have up to 2 years to complete the qualification. • Tutor support is on hand throughout the qualification via phone, email, or online chat. • Once you have passed both the theory and practical elements of your qualification, you will then be ready to start your career as a sports masseuse.

After you have completed your sports massage course of choice, you should consider which employment type is the most suitable for your needs. You could decide to work from home, or in a sports rehabilitation setting. Consequently, you’ll need to consider your employment options such as whether you would rather be employed or self-employed.

In order to maximise your industry opportunities, continued professional development is key. CPD will allow you to fine tune your knowledge and skills as a sports masseuse, ensuring that national standards are met and you remain competitive within the industry. As a result, your clients will have an enhanced service experience and much more confidence in your expertise. Additionally, CPD will make you look more desirable to employers as it shows your commitment to your profession and to your own career growth. CPD can also add value to your business (if you choose to be self-employed, but also as an employee as previously stated). When thinking about your individual continued professional development, you should consider questions such as: • What can I currently offer my clients as a sports masseuse? • If I completed another qualification, how much will this increase my income? • What is current and popular in my industry?
