Who the weekend course suits
Train without giving up your week
Weekend teaching means you can keep your job, studies or family week while you qualify. It suits people changing career, fitness professionals adding a hands-on service, and students who want a practical qualification alongside a degree.
Active IQ sets no previous qualification requirement. Sports massage is physical work, and the course expects communication skills at Level 3. Admissions checks it suits you before you commit.
What you learn
Hands-on from the first weekend
Tutors demonstrate, you practise on a partner, and they watch and correct you. You also learn when massage is not appropriate and when to refer someone on.
- Anatomy and physiology for sports massage
- Client consultation, assessment and treatment planning
- Effleurage, petrissage, tapotement and frictions
- Pre- and post-event massage
- Contraindications, risk and professional practice
