Start with the complete cost
A course fee may or may not include registration, assessment, reassessment, equipment, first aid, insurance or professional membership. Ask every provider to mark each item as included, optional or required elsewhere.
Do not compare totals until you have confirmed that the qualification routes, learner starting points and assessment requirements are genuinely comparable.

What SSTA’s Level 3 course costs
The Active IQ Level 3 Sports Massage Diploma at SSTA costs £1,997.99. You can pay in full, or pay a £197.99 deposit followed by 3 payments of £600, 4 payments of £450 or 6 payments of £300. Every option comes to the same £1,997.99 total.
The Level 3 package includes a massage table, oils and towels, a Graduate Business Hub website with bookings and payments, a two-hour business workshop with your cohort and three monthly one-to-one marketing sessions after you qualify. Ask admissions to confirm anything else you need before you commit, such as insurance or first aid.
For a complete budget, ask SSTA to mark registration, first assessment, any reassessment, insurance and first aid as included, optional or payable separately. Also confirm when instalments fall due and how long website access and support last. The published course fee does not settle those questions.
