Sports Massage VTCT Level 3 Certificate

UPDATED 20150720 11:30:25

The main aim of the VTCT Level 3 Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy is to enable learners to gain the practical and theoretical skills necessary to provide Sports Massage Therapy. It has been designed to provide learners with the requisite knowledge, understanding and skills to work in an unsupervised capacity as a sports massage practitioner, with non-pathological (non-injured) tissue. In this qualification learners will develop their knowledge and understanding of the theory underpinning the practise of Sports Massage Therapy, including functional anatomy and physiology, nutrition, classification of sports injuries and the stages of healing. It will also provide learners with the understanding, skills and techniques to plan, prepare for and apply a range of sports massage methods to uninjured clients. Learners will also develop the skills to evaluate massage strategies and methods to inform on future treatments. E-portfolios will be used on this course. An e-portfolio is an easy to use electronic format for students to record their work, achievement and goals. All work can be attached or uploaded very simply to the e-portfolio including handwritten work and other documents. It gives students the opportunity to use and learn ICT skills as well as making work instantly available for assessment. We will be providing training on how to use the e-portfolio which will include how to upload a document. Those wishing to pursue a career in holistic therapies or for personal development but please be aware that the emphasis is on becoming a practitioner. PLEASE NOTE THE COURSE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR PREGNANT STUDENTS. Students should have 5 GCSEs (A-C) or equivalent although this may be waived at our discretion. All students will be expected to sit a literacy assessment before a place can be offered on the course.
