About this course

Level 3 Sports Massage Therapy Course in Chesterfield. Classes run at The White Rose School of Beauty Chesterfield, daytime on a flexible schedule. Funding options are available and will be discussed at interview, so fees may or may not apply depending on your circumstances. Entry is by skills test and interview. Over 60 hours of classroom-based study, you'll develop the knowledge and hands-on techniques behind sports massage therapy, covering the national occupational standards for massage. This sports massage therapy qualification is awarded by VTCT and prepares you for work in massage, holistic therapy, and related roles.

Who this course is for

This qualification has been specifically designed for the 16-19 and 19 plus age group and is based on the national occupational standards for massage, namely CNH1, CNH7 and CNH20.

Entry requirements

Entry onto this qualification is subject to a successful skills test and interview.

What you will learn

  • You'll learn the anatomy and physiology relevant to sports massage therapy.
  • You'll develop hands-on massage techniques used in pre- and post-event sports massage.
  • You'll understand how to assess clients and adapt treatment to their needs.
  • You'll learn safe working practices and professional standards for massage therapy.
  • You'll study the effects of massage on the musculoskeletal and circulatory systems.
  • You'll develop consultation and client care skills used in professional practice.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions combining theory and practical work. Assessment follows the national occupational standards CNH1, CNH7, and CNH20. You'll be assessed on your practical massage techniques, client consultations, and underpinning knowledge. Entry onto the course requires a skills test and interview, which the centre uses to confirm the qualification is the right fit for you.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. The White Rose School of Beauty Chesterfield will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Sports massage therapist. Work with athletes and active clients on recovery and injury prevention.
  • Massage therapist. Provide therapeutic massage in salons, spas, or clinics.
  • Holistic therapist. Combine massage with other complementary treatments.
  • Beauty therapist. Work in a salon offering a range of body and massage treatments.
  • Gym or leisure centre therapist. Support members with soft-tissue and recovery treatments.
  • Self-employed massage practitioner. Build a mobile or studio-based client base.

What you could study next

You could progress to a Level 4 Certificate in Sports Massage, which covers advanced assessment and treatment techniques and is recognised by professional bodies such as the Sports Massage Association. A Level 3 or Level 4 Diploma in Holistic Therapies would broaden your treatment range. If you want to work in a clinical setting, a foundation degree or degree in physiotherapy or sports therapy is a longer-term route worth exploring.
