About this course

The Diploma has been designed to provide fitness professionals and newcomers to the industry with the skills and knowledge to assess, treat and advise all clients, at any level of health and fitness, within or outside a sporting context.

Entry Requirements
Ideally, 4 GCSE’s and 1 ‘A’ level, or similar academic qualification in a related subject (I.e. Anatomy) is desirable but not a must. Formally, there are no pre-requisites for the Level 3 Certificate.

​This qualification is open to all. There is an element of communication involved (discussing, presenting, reading and writing) and learners should have basic skills in communication pitched at level 3. Performing sports massage is a physical activity and learners will need to be fit enough to carry this out.
