Kent
Personal trainer and sports massage courses for Kent
Why commuting to Chichester is not the plan
- Maidstone
- About 81 miles by road. By rail, journey planners route you through London Victoria, around three hours.
- Canterbury
- More than two hours by car, and about three hours by train with changes in London.
Nobody should make that trip for every practical teaching day, so SSTA does not suggest it.

How a Kent group would be decided
Kent covers a lot of ground, from Dartford to Folkestone. When you register, give your town; registering does not confirm a Kent group, venue or place. Request any proposed venue and dates in writing before committing.
Maidstone has its own page with journey details. Registering records your interest; it does not guarantee a Kent group, a place or priority.
Kent FAQs
Where would I be assessed for an online course from Kent?
Assessment is in person. Ask SSTA where and when it takes place before you enrol, so you can plan the trip.
Do I pay anything to register interest?
No. Registering is free and does not commit you to a course.
