Entry depends on the course. The Active IQ Level 3 sports massage route sets no specific prior qualification; physical participation and Level 3 communication are expected. Personal Training requires a suitable Level 2 gym or fitness instructing qualification. Gym experience is recommended for the fitness coaching route. Ask us to check your background against the exact course requirements.

Course length and assessment timescales depend on the programme. Request the current Level 3 Sports Massage timetable, compulsory attendance and study commitment before applying.

Blended learning generally combines remote study with in-person teaching. It is a delivery description, not a promise about every SSTA course. Ask for the teaching format and compulsory attendance for your chosen route; course dates are confirmed once the course fills.

The Level 3 Sports Massage cohort is capped at 10 learners. Ask the team to confirm the group arrangements for any other course before applying.

That depends on the course timetable and your availability. Ask for the current Level 3 timetable, compulsory attendance and independent-study commitment before applying.

We confirm course dates and the timetable once the course fills. Enquire about your chosen course, its entry requirements and practical attendance; registering interest does not reserve a place.

The Level 3 Sports Massage course information currently identifies Active IQ as the awarding organisation and qualification number 610/3925/1. Ask the academy to confirm the awarding details for any other programme before relying on them.

Requirements differ between roles and employers. Check the exact qualification stated on the course page, then confirm it directly with any employer or professional body relevant to your plans.

Rules differ by country and role. Check the relevant regulator, employer and insurer in the country where you intend to work before enrolling.

The Regulated Qualifications Framework helps describe the level and size of regulated qualifications in England and Northern Ireland. Use the qualification number on the course page to check the official register and compare it with your intended next step.

Insurance requirements depend on the service, scope of practice and insurer. Ask the academy for the exact qualification details, then obtain written confirmation from your intended insurer before practising.

Request SSTA’s current course fees directly from admissions. We will explain what is included and the payment options before you decide.

Ask the team which payment options, if any, are currently available for your course. Confirm the total fee and what it includes before committing.

We will always explain any optional or course-specific extras before you enrol. If there are additional costs for textbooks, assessment registration, equipment, or materials for a particular programme, the team will make that clear in advance so you can make an informed decision.

General cancellation and refund information is available on our website. Request the complete course-specific terms before paying, and ask SSTA to clarify anything that affects your booking.

Ask the team what progression or post-course support is currently included with the specific programme. No course can guarantee employment, clients or income.

That depends on the qualification scope, your competence and the legal, insurance and professional requirements for the service you plan to provide. Check those requirements independently before setting up.

SSTA does not promise a job placement or employment outcome. Ask the team about any current introductions, workshops or progression support available with your course.

A suitable Level 2 gym or fitness instructing qualification can provide the starting point for Level 3 Personal Training. Ask us to check the exact certificate you hold. Level 4 massage, nutrition and yoga details require confirmation before planning further study; do not assume that a future route is currently open for enrolment.
